UKTI Announces Tokyo Games Show Mission

Organised by UK Trade & Investment's Japan experts, the mission to the Tokyo Games Show (TGS)  will include expert briefings, company visits, British Embassy reception, networking events as well as the stand space, meeting room access and delegate access to the Tokyo Games Show.

The Tokyo Games Show is Japan’s main annual computer games convention, which last year saw 185,000 visitors and over 180 exhibitors (including 92 from overseas). TGS 2010 is expected to have more visitors this year with an even more international focus.

The mission is focused on the broad spectrum of ganes companies including those involved traditional games development companies as well as social gaming, mobile gaming and serious games.

The programme is designed to help companies who are new or have limited experience of the Japanese games market providing a detailed insight into the challenges of working in Japan, and highlighting the opportunities available.

The application process includes a call with the team in Tokyo, which in itself will provide insight into the market. There are a limited number of spaces, so early applications are encouraged. The deadline is next Fri (30th July).
