The Goethe-Institut has launched GamesConnect AFRICA to increase the international visibility and networking opportunities for African game developers at Gamescom 2026.
The initiative aims to facilitate professional exchanges and partnerships by coordinating meetings between African studios and global industry stakeholders during the event.
Interested participants are required to register their attendance and engagement interests via a dedicated Microsoft Forms link provided by the Goethe-Institut.
Data collection is strictly for event coordination, with the Goethe-Institut guaranteeing that participant information will only be shared with partner organizations upon explicit consent.
The program targets developers and industry stakeholders across the entire African continent to strengthen their collective presence at the 2026 Cologne event.
The call to action was officially issued in early May 2026 to begin the logistical planning for on-site engagements at Gamescom.
