Ubisoft Bordeaux’s Post

🚨 Yesterday we had the opportunity to participate and sponsor again the most important event for the video game sector in France, the #Pégases2024 🎮awards of Académie des Arts et Techniques du Jeu Vidéo 🎮 Why is this event important in France?  Let's find out what is beyond a video game, or rather, what is inside a video game and what it means to produce it.  👉 Video games (for consoles, PCs and phones) have become one of the most popular leisure activities in the world, in which France plays a very important role as a world reference, not only in development but also in distribution and training. ✌ Annual figures for the video games industry are reaching record levels: the European market will grow to 24.5 billion euros by 2022. In France, the turnover in 2022 will exceed 5.6 billion euros. Already in the 1980s, France, with entities such as Infogrames Entertainment, SA and Ubisoft, and the UK with its Rockstar Games, have been at the origin of this industry. Right now in Europe, the France-Germany-Poland axis is a source of employment, which makes this sector strategic for Europe, generating some 110,000 jobs, of which 20,000 are in France. In France, we have around 700 development studios and some 1,200 companies dedicated to video games, which are the main source of employment in the sector.  👌 This sector, which mixes many disciplines (design, scenography, soundtrack, cinema,...) is closely linked to technological evolution, which places it at the forefront of all digital revolutions. Despite being an industry that in all studies speaks of permanent growth and is linked to the latest generation of technological development, where Artificial Intelligence plays a key role in the technological disruption in which we find ourselves, there are still few public funds that specifically support its development. It is worth noting that the European Commission Programme Horizon Europe , within the @Creative Europe programme (Media ) https://lnkd.in/dgHnr6nU, has only allocated 6 million euros (data from 2022) to video games out of a total budget of 385.6 million. This is not an alarmist figure because there are many other funding alternatives that our FI Group Group helps to define and manage. 🖐 I would like to close this post with the profile of the gamer in France, which as a first impact affects all genders and all ages. The average age is 39, 47% are women and 19% of regular gamers are retired. Don't forget that in addition to the Pegasus awards of L'Académie des Arts et Techniques du Jeu Vidéo with which I started this post, which are the most important in France, there are other big EVENTS like this world-wide The Game Awards, or like the eSPORTS competitions, or the NETFLIXATION of many of these games.

This week's SkyFi Sunday from Space 🇫🇷 📸 A snapshot over the Stade de France, the country's largest stadium and soon- to-be host of the inaugural Paris 2024 Olympic Games, with preparations clearly underway! Some interesting 'fun facts' that spurred from this image: 🏅This summer, the games in Paris stand out as the first Olympics ever to achieve full gender parity with equal numbers of both men and women participating out of 10,500 athletes (International Olympic Committee – IOC). 🏅 For the first time in history, athletes can expect a purple track (seen below), made from pieces of vulcanized rubber that were produced at a factory in northern Italy. Through extensive testing, athlete feedback, and algorithm design, the upper layer of this track is designed with new generation granules expected to be more elastic and cohesive, enabling athletes to run faster and jump higher for record-breaking results (The Associated Press).

Cinepolis to showcase the ICC T20 World Cup and has tied up with Star Sports. 1. Are movies not good enough to bring in Revenue or World Cup emotions can be tapped as a blockbuster? 2. Star Sports can subsequently do the same for Indian Premier League from next year for covering some costs upfront? 3. Jio can make money through Subscription and can Star Sports ink City wise deals across the Country with multiplexes such as Cinepolis, Inox and PVR and this can be extended to single screens? 4. The demand for the tickets in every stadium across the country can't be adhered to so this can be a game changer for the broadcaster. 5. Premiumization of the Stadiums will happen further which will rake in more revenues for the IPL teams 6. BCCI can make revenue by selling Multiplex and Single screens rights also #ipl #starsports #disney #viacom #iccworldcup #t20 #bcci
