Chungnam Global Game Center, operated by Chungnam Information and Culture Industry Promotion Agency (Director Kim Gok-mi), is newly promoting the ‘Indie Game Park Incubating’ project in 2025 and has begun recruiting participants targeting prospective entrepreneurs and game startups.
This recruitment aims to discover and foster young talents in the Chungnam region who wish to develop indie games, and will be conducted in two categories: the prospective business sector and the startup sector. Anyone between the ages of 19 and 34 who is preparing to develop a game, regardless of platform, including PC, mobile, and console, can apply, and only companies that have been established for less than 3 years can apply for the startup sector.
Applications for participation will be accepted online from April 9 to April 24 at 2:00 PM, and the final selection will be announced in early May after document screening and written/presentation evaluation.
Selected participants will be provided with various incubation programs, including ▲ provision of a development lab near KTX Cheonan-Asan Station ▲ 1:1 mentoring by industry experts ▲ support for development maintenance costs ▲ support for overseas training and participation in domestic and international exhibitions. In addition, support will be provided for establishing a commercialization foundation so that the game can be launched on the market, and in November, excellent projects will be selected through a results evaluation and a separate startup support fund will be provided.
Director Kim Gok-mi said, “This Indie Game Park incubation project will be an opportunity to help young people in South Chungcheong Province who are passionate about game development to start businesses in the region and even challenge themselves to enter the global market without having to go to the metropolitan area,” and added, “We will prepare various follow-up support measures to ensure that South Chungcheong Province’s game industry can continue to grow in the future.”
Chungnam Global Game Center plans to continue to serve as a hub for the creation of the Chungnam game ecosystem through comprehensive fostering programs including game content development, commercialization, and marketing support.
