The International Game Developers Association (IGDA) Incubation Special Interest Group (SIG) will unveil the first global census of game incubators and accelerators at Gamescom 2026. This census aims to provide the games industry with a comprehensive overview of organizations that support emerging studios. The research is based on responses from 84 leaders and managers of incubation and acceleration initiatives from around the world.
Dr. Pedro Santoro Zambon, the SIG chairperson, noted that incubators and accelerators are becoming increasingly significant in the games industry, but there is currently no clear picture of the ecosystem. During the Gamescom meetup, Sho Sato will provide updates on the SIG's work, Linn Søvig will discuss international collaboration, Vee Pendergrast will address supporting underrepresented communities, and Jason Della Rocca will speak about inception publishing.
