The gaming industry is experiencing rapid growth and right now the UK is the leading video game market in Europe and sixth globally. We\\u2019ve experienced multi-billion pound deals at the start of 2022 reinforcing the opportunity and appetite there is in the sector. However, as these gaming companies grow they need specific physical spaces to enable and support the production and creation of their products. As the industry continues to grow, where can we expect these gaming businesses to expand and can existing office stock be repurposed to provide studio space?

Join Guy Ruddle and sector specialists: Rob Pearson from the Office Tenant Representation team, Emerging Trends Director Nicky Wightman and Sam Collins, Head of Commercial and Membership at UKIE, as they discuss how important it is for gaming companies to be located near talent and knowledge centres, what the specific real estate needs and requirements are for gaming companies, and how this can be met amid a shortage of stock.
