The Rubik's Cube, invented 50 years ago, will be the theme of the next two talks of the NIÜ Talx, organised by the Hungarian Innovation Agency (NIÜ). Board games are now in their heyday, e-sport is taking off and there are also a host of games for smartphones. It's also a big business, as there are countless companies and start-ups (including Hungarians) in the industry, and community funding has become a viable model. This is the theme of the NIÜ event on 25 September in Budapest.
The two roundtable discussions at NIÜ Talx will discuss the current trends, how we've gone from Monopoly to Gloomhaven, from Super Mario to Fortnite, from Snake to Pokémon Go. As well as the personal stories, we'll also look at the business and development side - what innovations have been successful, how community finance as a business model has helped the industry. And of course, we can't leave out the fact that vlogging and streaming has become a business in itself.
Date: 25 September 2024 (Wednesday) 16:00.
