On Friday at 12:00, the focus will be on game development and digital experiences. Game Hub Ume\u00e5, of which eXpression Ume\u00e5 is a part, is broadcasting live and invites you to be inspired by industry expert Stefan Lampinen, who will also lead a subsequent think tank.

The starting line-up for the event on Friday is really impressive. It shows that there is an eagerness to talk about these issues and find a common direction for the future. Ume\u00e5 has all the prerequisites and much good is already being done. But it feels like we're ready to kick it up a notch,\" says Emil H\u00e4gglund<\/strong>, one of the leaders of the Game Hub Ume\u00e5 community, a joint initiative between indie game developers, eXpression Ume\u00e5, Uminova Innovation and Ume\u00e5 Municipality. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In one of the latest episodes of Ekonomiekot Extra, the game development industry was named as one of Sweden's new basic industries. Its turnover, which reached a record 24.5 billion in 2019, is on a par with exports of both iron ore and paper pulp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ume\u00e5 has what it takes to catch up with the explosive development and create the conditions for more games and game studios to flourish. For this, we need collaboration and a common vision and action plan. Friday's live broadcast will revolve around these issues - an event not to be missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
