These companies are joining our trade event to Tokyo and BitSummit Kyoto 2024

Trade Events /

We are excited to announce our game industry trade event to Tokyo and BitSummit Kyoto 2024, from July 17-21. The Netherlands will be represented by 9 organizations from the game industry, a healthy mix of innovative game developers and service providers.

The game industry trade event is organized by the Netherlands Embassy in Japan in collaboration with DGA. Our aim is to showcase the present and future of Dutch games and games service providers to Japan and the rest of the world, and to highlight the economic, cultural and societal value of games. In addition, the goal is to establish international business connections between the Japanese and Dutch games industry. The event involves a two-day programme prior to BitSummit Kyoto with company visits, business meetups, a taste of Japanese (game) culture, and a joint Netherlands Pavilion at BitSummit Kyoto.

The program of our trade event is planned as follows:

  • July 17 in Tokyo: Possibility to visit local partners, afternoon B2B Network Event at the Embassy Residence with local publishers and partners
  • In the evening of the 17th OR the morning of the 18th we take the Shinkansen (train) to Kyoto
  • July 18: B2B Company Visits Kyoto (Nintendo/CyGames) & Dutch Network Event at Anteroom Gallery (tbc)
  • July 19 – 21: Netherlands Pavilion at BitSummit Kyoto 2024

BitSummit Kyoto is the place to showcase yourself as an (independent) entrepreneur in the games sector. From 200 visitors in 2013 to as many as 23,700 visitors in 2023, BitSummit Kyoto is a fast-growing trade fair, with an array of (indie) game developers, publishers, and game service providers. Corporations like Nintendo, Bandai Namco and Playstation, publishers such as Shueisha Games and Phoenixx are represented there as well. In a relatively informal setting, Japanese stakeholders, games scouts and the network of service providers are easily accessible. For entrepreneurs within the games sector, it is a great opportunity to be seen by the gaming industry leaders in Japan.

The following Dutch game companies will be joining this trade event:
