Press Start: Games Founding Grant
Your launch pad for ingenious games ideas!
Update 10.02.2025:
On 9 February, we celebrated the “Press Start” programme kick-off in Berlin together with the funded game developers. The majority of the 132 grant holders travelled from all over Germany for the event at the Silent Green Kulturquartier. The grants were awarded by an expert jury in December 2024, with well over 1000 people applying in total.
