Games Lift Graduation 2021

With its incubator program Games Lift, Gamecity Hamburg supports up-and-coming game developers in deepening their skills in relevant fields of the games industry as well as further developing their game ideas and projects. Since September 2021, five teams from Hamburg have been taking part in a comprehensive workshop-, coaching-, and mentoring-program and received start-up financing of 15,000 euros as well as office space in a co-working facility.

Supported by a group of dedicated industry professionals in the Games Lift Network, the teams have been working on their projects, refining their visions, and setting out strategies for bringing their games to the market.

Now it's time for them to publicly present the games they are developing and the progress they made on their projects!

Learn more about the five teams in the Games Lift Incubator 2021 here or in our Games Lift Log.

Please note:

Previously we planned to host our popular Gamecity Treff networking event for the Hamburg games industry at the same location after the Games Lift Graduation. Due to the current development of Covid-19 cases in Germany, we decided to not host an additional networking event at this moment - we will announce a new date for the Gamecity Treff as soon as possible. For guest that attend the Games Lift Graduation in person we will offer a smaller get-together right after the Graduation event.
