The domestic video game development market continues to confidently consolidate its position on the world stage, demonstrating rapid growth and integration into the global community. As part of this process, the specialized association Games from Ukraine has officially confirmed its participation in the upcoming European event Gamescom 2026.

This large-scale event, which will traditionally take place in the German city of Cologne, is considered one of the most influential and largest international platforms for interactive entertainment.

This year’s presence at the exhibition will be marked by a double scale, as the presentation of domestic achievements will take place in two autonomous spaces at once. The first area will be the traditional National Pavilion, which will be located in the B2B business segment of the zone, where there will be clearly defined conditions for potential participants. Our country has been building such a consolidated platform for the fourth season in a row, bringing together leading local studios and companies providing various technical and creative services under one wing.

The second, completely new vector of the presentation this year will be the launch of a specialized indie pavilion integrated into the general Gamescom Indie Area, which also provides specific criteria for team selection.

The creation of such a separate platform is the first in the history of the Ukrainian industry and aims to provide an additional impetus for small independent teams. Thanks to this location, independent authors will receive a significant increase in their own recognition, attract the attention of specialized press and establish direct contact with a multimillion global audience of gamers.

The activities of the Games from Ukraine platform are fundamental and consistent, aimed at systematically expanding the influence and authority of domestic companies on a global level. That is why participation in the upcoming event is seen as a unique window of opportunity for local creators, allowing them to showcase their creative achievements on the main European demonstration stage and make a qualitative leap in the context of international recognition.
