TIGA call for a British Games Institute

TIGA, the trade association that represents the video games industry, is calling on the Government to introduce a British Games Institute to support the video games sector.

They envisage that the Institute would:

• manage TIGA’s proposal for a Games Investment Fund;
• increase productivity in the industry by working with leading universities to promote best practice; and
• promote British games culture with a new national games week filled with events, hackathons and competitions around the UK.

TIGA have also recently asked for the creation of a Games Investment Fund involving grants or loans being made available to games businesses on a pound for pound, matched funding basis, up to a maximum of £200,000.
