Powered by excellence-driven creators, renowned schools and historical public funding for video games, France has established itself as a global hub for video games.
This dynamic ecosystem is supported by highly active regional hubs, where each region stands out for its local strengths (successful titles, schools, strong network of studios and/or publishers…). To learn more about their unique assets, explore our dedicated section on regional hubs.
Beyond this territorial dynamism, France offers significant support mechanisms for video games: in addition to national schemes such as the 30% Video Game Tax Credit, regional schemes (dedicated to video game companies based in the regions or across the country), are available to support projects from conception to production.
Whether opening a company or a subsidiary, video game companies looking to set up in France can seek assistance from the public organization Business France, that helps foreign companies to set up in France.
Through its Welcome Office, Business France also provides information to foreign companies and their subsidiaries on how to organize the mobility of their directors and employees and on how to recruit international talent.
