The digital gaming industry, valued at $240 billion globally in 2020 and projected to reach $294 billion by 2024, encompasses a vast ecosystem. Australia's sector, which saw $226.5 million in revenue in 2021, benefits from strong upstream components like game development and cloud services, and downstream elements such as publishing and esports. Federal and state tax incentives further position Australia as a burgeoning global player.
But this growth will be dependent on reaching international markets - both in the games' development and in customer base. India represents a huge market, both abroad and within the Australia-based diaspora. In this panel discussion, you will learn about the opportunities within the gaming industry, the role of AI and how building IP is key to a growing industry. You will also learn how India will play a considerable role in helping amplify the gaming industry in Australia.
