Busan Metropolitan City and the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency announced that the Busan Indie Wave Conference will be held at Haeundae Grand Chosun in Busan on August 14th, where the global indie game ecosystem and the latest technology trends converge.
The conference will be held for the first time in conjunction with the Busan IndiConnect Festival 2025, and is designed to strengthen the foundation for global expansion of the Busan game industry and to spread the latest technology trends through exchanges between indie game developers, prospective founders, game-related organizations and companies.
The conference consists of a global conference, a focus session, and a business matching consultation. During the global conference session, experts from various fields, including YouTube and studio sinkholes, will participate as speakers to share the latest trends in the indie game industry and strategies for entering the market, including 'Pengonauts' by the developer 'Starvader' and '1001 nights' by the developer 'Ada Eden'.
Focus sessions will be held in the form of small group talks where industry practitioners and participants can communicate freely. Industry executives such as the Hwau Game Center deliver practical information such as strategies for entering the platform and issues related to game laws, and participants can get customized advice and insights through free Q&A. In addition, a one-on-one customized business matching consultation meeting and networking time between speakers and participating companies are also expected to promote partnerships between companies and inter-industry connections, the agency said.
Kim Tae-yeol, head of the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency, said, `In order for the indi-game industry to be connected with global technologies and platforms, field-oriented insights and practical networks are important.' `We hope that this conference will help Busan become a global hub for the new technology-based indi-game industry.'
Meanwhile, the Busan Information Industry Promotion Agency is operating the 「Regional Specialized Content Development Support Project" with the support of the Korea Creative Content Agency and Busan Metropolitan City, and this event will be promoted as part of this project.
