About this event
InGAME is delighted to be partnering with Creative England to explore the opportunities available to Scotland-based videogame makers.
You'll get advice and guidance on how to find and apply for available opportunities as well as hearing from special guests who have benefitted from Creative England programmes. We're delighted to be joined by Marc Williamson, CEO of Tag Games and Malcolm Collins, CEO of Earthbound Games to talk about their experience on the Scale Up Games programme in 2020.

The two new accelerators, developed in partnership with UKIE and part-funded by the BFI, deliver business advice and support to early-stage UK games businesses. Find out more and apply here.
