The process of holding the 10th Fajr Video Games Festival was explained in a specialized meeting attended by the CEO of the Iran Video Games Foundation and a number of media representatives.
According to the Public Relations Unit of the Iran Video Games Foundation, Mohammad Amin Haji Hashemi, CEO of the foundation, while presenting a report on the holding of this event in 2023, said: The ninth edition of this festival was held after a 4-year hiatus last year and amidst an unprecedented reception from game developers. In the Golden Gazall section of this edition of the festival, 216 works were submitted from 112 companies and teams from 19 provinces of the country. Last year, we witnessed the presence of very good games at the festival. For example, the game "Fake Emperors" which was nominated for the Best Game of the Year award, won the Best Mobile and Tablet Game award at the "Game Connection" festival in the United States in April this year and achieved great success in other festivals as well.
Referring to the holding of the first investment event at the 9th Video Games Festival, Haji Hashemi stated: "Last year, 54 teams registered in this section, and ultimately seven teams were selected for investment by five investment funds. Continuing this process, this year, six of these seven teams succeeded in being valued and reached the stage of concluding a contract, and are on the path to attracting capital."
