Who are we?

The Dutch Games Association (DGA) is the trade association representing the gaming industry in the Netherlands. Our mission is to help the Dutch gaming industry to achieve its full potential.

How?

- We're building a tight-knit community of game creators, to accelerate growth.

- We're improving ties with the broader gaming ecosystem, to provide games companies with a healthy environment to grow in.

- We're strengthening our global reputation, to attract talents and business opportunities.

The Dutch gaming industry is a combination of various types of companies. Creators form our member base, mostly are from game studios, indie game developers, or game asset creators (such as writers, audio studios, animators and freelancers). This is what we label as the ‘industry’ at its core – the companies actually making games.

We are also proud to represent a wide variety of organisations from the broader gaming ecosystem – ranging from educational institutions to researchers and general service providers. While technically not part of the ‘core industry’, the organisations in this ecosystem are critical for a healthy industry. Healthy collaboration between the industry and its ecosystem is a key ingredient for a successful future.

We organise several gaming-related events throughout the year, ranging from trade missions & pavilions to an award show & small meetups to get inspired.
