Studie Vlaams Gamebeleid: Eindrapport
The Flemish game industry lacks a 'missing middle' of mid-sized companies, with growth concentrated among a few major players despite an increase in total studio numbers between 2020 and 2024.
To compete in the $187.7 billion global market, Flemish policy must shift from project-based subsidies toward business scaling and private capital access for the 2026–2030 period.
Existing support mechanisms like the VAF/Gamefonds and the Tax Shelter are currently insufficient to match the aggressive fiscal incentives offered by international competitors such as Canada and France.
