Welcome to Baltic Explorers Project – Tervetuloa Baltic Explorers Hanken

Baltic Explorers -hanke tukee peliyrityksiä!

Pelien vienti uusille markkinoille on haastavaa ja tarvitsee usein uutta osaamista, kontakteja sekä sopivan alustan, mikä mahdollistaa myynnin ja uusien sopimusten tekemisen. Baltic Explorers tukee osallistuvien maiden – Suomen, Ruotsin, Viron ja Latvian – peliyritysten tuotteiden lokalisointia, kansainvälistymistä, liiketoiminnan kehittämistä ja myyntimatkoja uusille markkinoille Aasiaan ja Pohjois-Amerikkaan.

Baltic Explorers Game Hub on Keski-Itämeren alueen organisaatioiden verkosto, jonka yhteinen tavoite on tukea peliteollisuuden tiimejä menestykseen Kaakkois-Aasiassa ja Pohjois-Amerikassa. Vuosina 2020-2022 verkosto järjestää pelialan tapaamisia, valmistelee ja suorittaa kiihdytysohjelmia ja tarjoaa mentorointitukea vahvan pelikehittäjäklusterin rakentamiseen. Menestyksen avain on tarjota mentorointi-, tuki- ja neuvontapalveluja yrityksille testauksen, uusien markkinoiden lanseerausten ja pelien hienosäätöä varten sijoittajien / kustantajien valmiudelle Aasian tai USA: n suurimmissa B2B-tapahtumissa.

Baltic Explorers – Exploring new markets for the central baltic game industry

Baltic Explorers boost the game industry to explore possibilities in the global markets and succeed in catching a deal.

Baltic Explorers boost the Central Baltic gaming industry to explore possibilities and allow gamers to catch a global market. We are offering specially designed programs for all gaming companies, no matter what level of development they are at the moment, in four different countries, at the same time. Baltic Explorers team’s drive is to support those teams and provide them with the necessary tools, network and mentorship to succeed and catch the promised deal in the US market or the Asian market.

Baltic Explorers mentor network is spread among four different Baltic Sea Region countries; this allows gamers to find the right mentor in their country of origin and beyond. With all these success factors, there is no other option necessary to join one of our offered programs by only joining our casual “Meetups” to catch up with the Baltic gaming industry cluster.

Baltic Explorers Game Hub is a network of organizations from the Central Baltic Region that support game industry teams for success in South-East Asia and North America. From 2020 – 2022 the web will organize game industry meetups, prepare and run accelerator programs and provide mentoring support for building a solid game developer cluster. The key to success is providing mentoring, support, and advisory services for the companies to help with testing, soft launches on new markets, and fine-tuning the games for investor/publisher readiness at the most significant B2B events in Asia or the USA.
