Next Level: Saxony! – New brand promotes Saxony as a gaming location
The new Next-Level Saxony brand brings together funding, events and networks for start-ups and developers in Saxony – all at a glance.
The aim of the new website is to highlight all the support available and promote Saxony as an attractive location for start-ups and founders in the games industry beyond the region. The initiative was launched by Games & XR Mitteldeutschland e.V. and is supported by the City of Leipzig’s Office for Economic Development.
On the website www.next-level-saxony.com, interested parties can use a quick check to find out which subsidies they are eligible for. The website also publishes news and events relating to the games industry in Saxony.
Friedrich Lüder, CEO of Games & XR Mitteldeutschland e.V. and co-initiator of the platform: “Saxony is now one of the top 10 locations for the games industry in Germany. With “Next Level: Saxony!”, we are bringing all funding opportunities together in a clear and concise manner on one website. I am particularly pleased about the commitment of the Saxony Economic Development Corporation and the Office for Economic Development of the City of Leipzig to this project, because it illustrates how important the promotion of the games industry is to the Free State of Saxony and also to the City of Leipzig.”
“With the new brand “Next Level: Saxony!”, we are giving the games industry in Saxony a common face. Our aim is to raise the profile of Saxony as a location and the games developers based here. The Leipzig accelerator R42 and the industry association Games & XR Mitteldeutschland e.V. are the ideal cooperation partners for national and international start-ups. Good luck, have funds!” says Eric Patzschke, Head of Digital and Creative Industries at the Office for Economic Development of the City of Leipzig.
