The umbrella organisation Games Germany will work closely together with the
national associations BIU and GAME as well as other trade associations. In addition
to its national activities, Games Germany also regards itself as a platform for
the regional networks and funders. The idea of an amalgamation was first presented
at the 2016 German Developer Awards. Games Germany appeared at the
Nordic Games in Malmö in May 2017 during its foundation phase.
