Dutch Game Garden is set to close in January 2025.

The company attributed the closure to “changes in opportunities and focus for public funding.”

In a statement, the company said: “This decision was made due to changes in opportunities and focus for public funding, which makes it no longer possible to realise a balanced budget that allows the continuation of activities in a responsible manner.

Since 2008, Dutch Game Garden’s incubation program has supported over 130 developers, with more than 150 companies occupying space within its portfolio.

All planned activities, including the organisation’s networking lunches, will continue through the end of the year before operations officially cease, the statement revealed.

Peter Laanen, Chairman of the Board, said: “It is with a heavy heart that we have had to make this decision. We are proud of what we have achieved over the past 17 years and the effect that our efforts have had on the Dutch games industry.

“Unfortunately, we are now forced to close our doors, but we look back with satisfaction on everything we have accomplished together.”

Jan-Pieter van Seventer, managing director, continued: “In the coming months, several regular activities, such as the successful Network Lunches, will continue as planned.

“We thank all our partners, employees, companies, and the entire game community for their support and trust during all these years.”
