Montenegro is finally getting its first Game Development Center dedicated to video game creation! ICT Cortex, as a partner in the project “Investing in the Future: Video Game Development for New Generations (CBC GAIN)”, in collaboration with the SI-MO-RA Development Agency from Croatia and the INTERA Technology Park from Bosnia and Herzegovina, is bringing a completely new dimension to the technological scene of our country.
As part of the CBC GAIN project implementation, we conducted a visit to Mostar (November 2024), where we held a meeting with project partners SI-MO-RA and INTERA. During the meeting, we discussed the activities carried out so far and planned the next steps. The visit also included a conference at Code Hub Mostar, where our Executive Director, Tarik Zaimović, participated in the panel “The Gaming Industry as a Driver of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.”
The GameDev Center in Podgorica will be the first space in Montenegro dedicated to video game development, where young developers, designers, programmers, and all gaming enthusiasts will have the opportunity to learn, work, and create their own projects. This center will become a meeting point for talents and creatives, with the aim of supporting the video game development industry and opening new opportunities for professional growth.
With the opening of the Game Development Center, Montenegro will gain numerous benefits – from supporting young people and startups through education and mentorship to creating new jobs in IT, design, animation, and digital marketing. Thanks to this project, our teams and talents will also have the opportunity to collaborate with international experts and integrate into the global gaming scene.
The CBC GAIN project is co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg VI-A IPA CBC cross-border cooperation program between Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro. By strengthening the creative industry and building an innovative technological ecosystem, this Gaming Center represents a major step towards Montenegro’s digital future.
The official opening of the center in Podgorica is coming soon, and this is just the beginning of a great story that will transform the local gaming scene.
