Taking in EUR 1.86 billion in 2010 with growth  rates of 6 percent, Germany is turning heads in a segment long dominated by  countries like Japan, Korea and the USA.

Germany Trade &amp; Invest will be on hand at this  year&#8217;s Gamescom from August 17-21 in Cologne to share the latest opportunities  in Germany&#8217;s thriving gaming industry.   <!--more-->  <br \/>&#8220;Game developers and publishers  find outstanding investment conditions in Germany. With a domestic market of 23  million gamers along with internationally-minded and affordable programmers and  software developers, companies can serve the German, European, and broader  international markets from one location,&#8221; said Henri Troillet, gaming industry  expert at Germany Trade &amp; Invest in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Industry trends worldwide  have seen a shift away from PCs and consoles and an increase in mobile, online  and browser-based games. Distribution channels have also been upended in recent  years, with online and in-app purchases increasing significantly.

The  organization advises foreign companies looking to expand their business  activities in the German market. It provides information on foreign trade to  German companies that seek to enter foreign markets.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <\/span>Germany Trade &amp; Invest in Berlin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaming industry revenues in Germany have overtaken both the music industry and cinema-going.
