According to the communication unit of the Iran Video Games Foundation, the first pre-meeting of the investment event of the 10th Fajr Video Games Festival was held with the participation of a group of game developers, publishers, accelerator managers, and investment companies in creative and knowledge-based industries in partnership with the Presidential Innovation and Prosperity Fund
In this meeting, Mohammad Amin Haji Hashemi, CEO of the Iran Video Games Foundation, welcomed the investment event at the Fajr Video Games Festival, which began last year, and said: In addition to introducing the symbol and cultural authenticity, the video games festival should be able to help the economic infrastructure of the gaming industry. Gaming is not just a medium, but a creative cultural industry, and various government departments, especially the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, should pay attention to it so that we can have a plan for its economic dimension
The secretary of the 10th Fajr Video Games Festival stated: The Ghazal Jumping Platform, can provide this sector with a cultural and economic perspective on the gaming sector. The gaming sector is a cultural ecosystem, and all components must be present together in the gaming ecosystem. Therefore, the emphasis on the publisher's presence in investment events is carried out with the aim of transferring experience with this approach. Another issue is creating communication paths between these components, and the Fajr Video Games Festival and the Ghazal Investment Event are held with this perspective. Haji Hashemi, pointing out that the 10th Fajr Video Games Festival is defined as a three-day business event, added: During these three days, game developers can communicate closely with publishers and investors, present their products, and have business meetings, networking (B2B) and educational conferences to strengthen the connection between the different components of this ecosystem
