According to The Portugal News, the municipality of Fundão is part of a European project that involves five countries with the aim of investigating the dynamics of the video game industry and helping to develop the sector.
The GAME-ER project aims to support, over the next three years, local video game clusters in France, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland and Fundão, in Portugal, helping policymakers to boost the industry through these examples.
“The Municipality of Fundão intends to enhance the existing ecosystem, aiming to attract and retain talent, in addition to diversifying the business fabric, with a special focus on the gaming industry, which is growing in Portugal”.
The municipality, in the district of Castelo Branco, considers this to be a strategy to promote innovation, attract investment and create jobs.
GAME-ER has funding of three million euros under Horizon Europe, “the largest European program to support innovation and research”.
