Startup Madeira will host the IV National Meeting of the eGames Lab Mobilising Agenda on May 20 at 14:00. The event aims to promote and showcase the results achieved within the scope of the project funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR).

The meeting, which will take place at Savoy Palace in Funchal, will bring together consortium entities, institutional representatives, strategic partners, and stakeholders from the innovation and technology ecosystem within the video games industry.

The eGames Lab is made up of 22 regional and national partners, bringing together companies, research and development centres, and public and private entities, with the aim of developing a national cluster for the creative video games industry.

As a member of the eGames Lab consortium, Startup Madeira is committed to leveraging the video games and creative industries ecosystem through initiatives that help generate momentum and awareness within the regional ecosystem. This commitment is complemented by continuous support for entrepreneurs in the video games industry who approach Startup Madeira in search of assistance with early-stage ideas, strategic guidance, business model definition and validation, and direct access to a qualified network of mentors and partners.

The 4th National Meeting is intended to serve as a moment for review, results sharing, demonstration of developed solutions, and reflection on the project’s impact, as well as on the next steps towards consolidating the video games and creative industries ecosystem in Portugal.
