The UK is a great place to start-up a studio, but growing is difficult, especially for independent studios. 53% of all studios founded between 2008 and 2018 did not survive to 2023. Many studios stay small and 78% of all UK games studios employ four or fewer people.
Our new one-day Start Up, Scale Up & Grow Conference aims to share the insights you need to overcome the obstacles to survive, thrive and succeed in this climate.
Tickets are FREE for TIGA members.
Non-member early bird rate: £59+VAT.
(Includes lunch, refreshments + a digital copy of TIGA’s Start-Up, Scale-Up & Grow Guide 2025).
Date: Wednesday, April 30th 2025
Timings: 10.00am – 6.00pm
Venue: The Passage, St. Vincent’s Centre, Carlisle Place, London SW1P 1NL (closest station is Victoria).
