This year Ardán is taking part in the SpielFabrique European Games Coproduction Market! The aim of this project is to unite games companies from the West of Ireland with European partners to help them learn, grow, and develop as games makers. You can read more about SpielFabrique and the Games Co-production market here. And for more information on the call for applicants and how to apply, read below.

We will also be hosting a local information session in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for our announcement on that!

Call for applications

Are you struggling with the completion of your financing? Do you need a specific expertise? Do you want to access European talents? Do you want to have a better international exposure? Or on the contrary, do you have the resources to co-develop a project with a foreign partner?

What about European coproduction?

The European Games Coproduction Market is a program powered by SpielFabrique, that aims to foster coproduction projects between indie game studios in Europe. The market is supported by Creative Europe and is composed of several milestones’ events and activities:

• Admission of the studios from 1st of March to 11th of April 2022
• Mentoring preparation for the matchmaking days – April – May 2022
• Online matchmaking days – June – July 2022
• Offline mentoring event for coproduction teams to prepare the coproduction market with different experts – September 2022
• Online Coproduction Market. Presentations and panels of experts. Pitching sessions of the coproduction teams and online private meetings with publishers and financiers – October 2022

The program is totally free, the financing of the program is supported by our partners. Nothing will be charged to the studios!

What are we looking for?

We are looking for studios from France, Germany, Spain, Belgium (Flanders & Wallonia), Croatia, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, Czechia, Slovakia, Netherlands, Norway and Tunisia!

Either you are a small indie game studio with a video game prototype looking for a partner to support you on your project, bringing financing and/or specific expertise. In this case you need a project pitch for the market, with at least a prototype to present. The studio must be already established.

Or you are small/medium indie game studios looking for a project to co-produce. You need to be an established studio and you must pitch what kind of support you can provide and what kind of project you can work on, how you can help another studio with your experiences and knowledges.

You can already register here, until the 11/04/2022. The whole program will be held in English.
