Gamescom 2013 : France named official partner country
France is the partner country of the Gamescom 2013 in Cologne, Germany August 21-25. The French will be heading the international community of exhibitors at the world’s largest trade fair for games. The French games industry will be presenting itself at the exhibition grounds of the Koelnmesse to the Gamescom visitors from 84 countries. After Canada, Great Britain and Korea, the Gamescom is again welcoming one of the leading gaming countries in the world as its partner country – namely France and Le Game.
With 28 million players and a turnover of approximately $2.36 billion, France is one of Europe’s largest and highest revenue markets, which in turn provides important economic impulses. Global key players of the industry such as Ubisoft, Big Ben Interactive, Focus Home Interactive, Akama, Arkane Studio, Pretty Simple, Quantic Dream and Dontnod are based in France.
The Koelnmesse as the organizers of the Gamescom, the Association of Interactive Entertainment Software (BIU) e.V., as the honorary sponsor of the Gamescom, and the National Syndicate of Video Games (SNJV), as their partner, will announce this partnership in Cannes behind Le Game, the brand new banner of French uncompromising creative industry.
“France has been a strong partner of the Gamescom from the very onset,” said Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of the Koelnmesse GmbH. “Numerous companies have exhibited at a joint national stand every year, which is why we are all the more delighted to be able to present France as this year’s partner country thanks to the support of the SNJV and his partners behind Le Game.”

“Le Game” Announced at GDC 2012 – Created to Promote French Video Game Industry
A new brand to promote French videogame creativity, Funded by the French trade association and backed by the French government
San Francisco, CA, USA - Tuesday March 6th 2012
In association with Game Connection USA at the 2012 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, the Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo (France's videogame trade association) and partners are proud to announce the creation of the new brand to promote French videogame industry, Le Game, as well as their official motto, “Uncompromising Creativity from France.” Backed by the government of France, Le Game will facilitate awareness and trade opportunities for French game developers and publishers on the global scale.
France's videogame sector has cultivated a legacy of more than 40 years of quality game development, from Rayman and Prince of Persia to Ankama's great MMO Dofus and Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain. These titles and many others have established a strong reputation for French talents the world over, but until now, they have all operated independently. Le Game aims to foster a common and global communication plan to highlight the creativity and the diversity of France's developers.
"Today’s videogame industry competes on a global scale, and Le Game will allow France to structure its message of uncompromising creativity, quality and talent," said Nicolas Gaume, Chairman of the SNJV, who initiated this project. “All around the nation, this represents a major step forward for our industry.”
“Le Game” was launched at the French Ministry of the Economy in Paris on Friday March 2nd 2012, with the support and the backing of the French government, represented during the launch by multiple Ministers and government agencies including Ubifrance.
This new brand was founded to promote the creativity and know-how of French gaming professionals the world over. Small companies form the backbone of the French industry, and Le Game will help them gain visibility on the international level. Last but not least, a series of events to promote the French videogame industry will take place at future gaming events and festivals all around the world. The first rendezvous is today's launch of Le Game at Game Connection USA during the 2012 Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, California.

Pierre Lellouche et le Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo lancent conjointement un plan export et la nouvelle marque du jeu vidéo français à l'international
Paris, le Vendredi 2 Mars 2012
Pierre Lellouche, Secrétaire d’Etat chargé du Commerce extérieur et Nicolas Gaume, Président du Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo (SNJV) ont signé, ce vendredi 2 mars 2012, au Ministère de l’Economie, des Finances et de l’Industrie, la « Charte export du jeu vidéo », en présence des entreprises et des organisations représentatives du secteur.
En 2011, le jeu vidéo était la 2ème industrie culturelle dans le monde (marché de 52 milliards d’euros) et en France (2,7 milliards d’euros) et il devrait détrôner le cinéma en 2014 grâce à une croissance annuelle supérieure à 10%. Mais les 300 entreprises que compte ce secteur en France sont à 75% des très petites entreprises et sont soumises à une très vive concurrence. Reconnaissant l’importance économique de ce secteur qui emploie 5000 personnes en France et exporte plus de 70% de son chiffre d’affaires, Pierre Lellouche a souhaité la mise en place d’un plan d’actions export du jeu vidéo français qui rassemble tous les ministères (Affaires étrangères et européennes, Culture et Communication, Industrie, Commerce extérieur) et les opérateurs publics compétents (Institut français, Centre national de la cinématographie et de l’image animée, Ubifrance, l’Agence Française pour les Investissements Internationaux, Oséo, la Coface et le Comité National des Conseillers du Commerce extérieur de la France). Le Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo salue cette volonté de travailler ensemble afin de coordonner les dispositifs d'accompagnement à l'international des entreprises du secteur et d'inscrire le jeu vidéo parmi les filières de promotion à l'étranger par les services de l'Etat.
Cette Charte export du jeu vidéo français permettra de gagner en efficacité collectivement pour aider les entreprises de ce secteur à gagner des parts de marché à l'international et pour mieux attirer des investisseurs étrangers sur le territoire français.
Le plan d’actions s’articule autour de 3 thèmes : la mise en avant de l’excellence française au travers d’une image collective unique, le développement des exportations notamment par l’amélioration de l’accès des PME aux dispositifs de soutien à l’export et enfin le développement des investissements en France, par la communication sur l’image économique et l’attractivité de la France auprès des entreprises du jeu vidéo.
A l’occasion de la signature de la Charte export du jeu vidéo, le Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo a lancé une nouvelle marque export du jeu vidéo français « Le Game », instrument majeur de ce projet collectif ambitieux, qui sera déployée pour la première fois dans le cadre de la Game Developers Conference, lors de la « Game Connection », principale convention d'affaire professionnelle du Jeu Vidéo qui se tiendra du salon mondial du jeu vidéo du 5 au 7 mars 2012 à San Francisco.
