Back to a better place
«Back to a Better Place» signifies our commitment to not just return to the former glory of the European video game industry, but to elevate it to unprecedented heights. This new era aims to be marked by sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation. We envision a future where the industry thrives in a more responsible and equitable manner, ensuring that our growth benefits everyone involved – from developers to players, from small indie studios to large corporations, across the continent.
The slogan also pays homage to our journey. It acknowledges the formation of our think tank in Tenerife in 2022, a pivotal moment that laid the groundwork for our current endeavors. As we gather once again, this time in the picturesque town of Nerja, we celebrate the progress we’ve made and the stronger community we’ve built. The choice of Nerja, a location different yet equally enchanting as Tenerife, symbolizes our journey of continual improvement and adaptation within Europe.
The summit is a call to action for all stakeholders to contribute to a future where the industry is not only prosperous but also a force for positive change in society across Europe.
