Level up for the games industry – BMFTR at Gamescom 2025

From August 20 to 22, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMFTR) presented itself with a modern exhibition stand in Business Area 4.1 at Gamescom in Cologne. The focus was on the new call for proposals for games funding, which takes support for the industry to a new level.

 

The call for funding includes significant innovations: the elimination of the partial application stop, the abolition of the distinction between project sizes, and a significant increase in the maximum grant per project. Experts from the DLR project management agency offered individual advice on site – a strong signal for the future of the German games industry as a driver of innovation, creativity, and digital value creation.

VAGEDES & SCHMID was responsible for the conception and realization of the exhibition stand. The design focused on openness, clarity, and dialogue – with plenty of space for discussions and personal consultation. It was a presentation that showed how funding policy issues can be communicated in a tangible and accessible way at Gamescom.
