ICYMI | The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), through the Competitiveness and Innovation Group (CIG), in collaboration with the DTI-Export Marketing Bureau (EMB) and the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP), has officially opened the first International Video Game Industry Summit featuring two (2) tracks: External Development and Indie Games.

DTI CIG Undersecretary Rafaelita M. Aldaba shared the DTI's role in championing the development and promotion of the game development sector in partnership with private organizations, GDAP and the International Trade Centre (ITC) ARISE Plus Philippines Project. She assured the gaming community of the active support of the Department: “As we strengthen our game development ecosystem, particularly through the indie games track where we promote our own Filipino stories and games, the Game Development Summit takes on even greater significance. Who knows, the next big game-changing idea might emerge from a Filipino developer, born right here at the GDS.”

Certainly, the grand winner of the Young Creatives Challenge: Game Development Category will be shining bright at the next GameDev Summit! ✨
