SpielFabrique's European Coproduction Takes Applicants Until 2 June
The current edition of SpielFabrique's Match, formerly European Co-Production Market, is now taking applications. Developers can match up with studios from other countries to develop together, exchange expertise and profit from more than one country's funding infrastructure.
The 2024 edition of SpielFabrique’s coproduction market Match is now open. Originally only opened for French and German developers, the program has been broadened since its inception in 2018 and is now taking developers from 15 different European countries.
The coproduction programme enables developers to use the funding structures of more than one country for the financing of their games, among other things.
Developers can apply until 2 June through the website to codevelop with a studio from another country. First matchmaking sessions start in 21 June, matchmaking between the studios can run until gamescom. Apart from coproduction trainings, at the end of the program stands a publisher and investor pitch for a selection of promising attendees with their coproduced games.
The European agency SpielFabrique has been organising Franco-German, later Pan-European and African-European coproduction markets since 2018. With the broadened scopes, both programs have since been renamed: The Pan-European programme to Match, the African-European programme to Bridge.
