Raw Talent: German State Universities Organise Their Own Indie Booth

It is the dream of many game design students to attend gamescom during their studies and showcase their own game, says Prof. Dr. Greta Hoffmann from the Cologne Game Lab at TH Köln, initiator and organiser of the 'Raw Talent' booth. "Until now, this was mostly only possible at university or federal state stands in the Business or Campus Area. Students were able to present themselves there, but they didn't have the full visibility and proximity to the community that is so important for the development of young talent."
