They never tell you how tough it is to organize the first Game Investment Summit in Western Canada—now I know, thanks to Game Invest West!
Read more about what we are trying to accomplish at Scaffold Institute and Shred Capital:
1. Motivate local investors to explore Alberta’s digital media sector for investments.
2. Showcase our game studios to an audience of 300+ investors.
3. Double Alberta’s gaming industry by 2026 through strategic support and funding.
4. Shift investor focus toward sustainable, long-term infrastructure.
Henrik Jonsson: “The game industry can yield a tenfold ROI over time, but it needs long-term infrastructure, not just test programs or six months of prototype funding.”
5. Encourage founders to come prepared with financial insights and business plans.
Stewart Guenther: “AI as a panacea and other ‘current thing’ elements don’t work—founders need to dive into why their business is truly disruptive.”
6. Inspire confidence in Canada’s gaming potential.
Tyler Sigman: “Game production depends on talent and infrastructure, which Canada has in abundance.”
