BusinessOulu offers training for those who are interested in games and the gaming industry. The aim is to bring together people with the ideas and enthusiasm to develop the game business further.
You can participate no matter what your area of interest in the gaming industry – design, graphics, coding, sound design, or something else. You can join either as an individual, in which case we will help you find a team, or as an existing team.
The training proceeds in two stages. The first stage includes five networking and workshop events starting from next week. The events have different themes that deal with various aspects of gaming teams and business. The second stage focuses on a team-specific training programme. The teams will be assembled from the participants of the networking and workshop events. Participation is free of charge.
