This year, GameBCN kicked off its 11th edition, continuing a decade-plus commitment to nurturing the next generation of video game talent, and we at FunPlus are honored and proud to continue our support as an official Mentoring Partner.

Last year, our collaboration with GameBCN built a strong foundation for innovation, creativity, and growth. Throughout the program, we saw first-hand how effective mentorship can be, watching the incubated teams make real progress throughout the program.
That progress came to life at DemoDay’s 10th edition, where the teams showcased the tangible results of their hard work. (You can take a deeper dive into those teams and their projects on GameBCN’s website.)
Building on that momentum, we’re proud to renew our partnership for this new edition, and we’re bringing our industry veterans and experts back to the table to offer guidance, insight, and support to this year’s emerging teams.
Specifically, our support once again includes:
Ultimately, this collaboration reflects what matters most to us: making a meaningful impact on Barcelona’s local gaming scene (meet our offices in Barcelona!) while contributing to the industry globally.
It’s also a chance for our own team to grow personally and professionally, build valuable connections, and earn recognition within the industry.
Looking ahead, we look forward to attending this edition’s DemoDay and to seeing what this year’s teams will achieve.
Here’s to another exciting edition of GameBCN, and to many more years of collaboration ahead!
