To kick off the year, we are happy to welcome Marjo Sutinen from Lightbeam Consulting, who will give a talk on Grant Funding Opportunities for Game Companies.

This lecture gives an overview of the main grant options available to game companies in Finland. We will look at instruments such as Business Finland’s funding programs, Kopiosto’s support for creative projects, EU programs such as Creative Europe MEDIA, ELY's company development grant. The focus is on what kinds of companies and stages each scheme fits, what preconditions are typically required, and how to approach the application process. Participants will gain a clearer view of the funding landscape and practical insights into how grants can support game development and growth.
