Since 2013, MFG has organized a Baden-Württemberg state and joint booth in the business area of Gamescom in Cologne. At the booth, organized by the MFG initiative Games BW, exhibiting companies and institutions will once again have the opportunity at this year’s Gamescom (August 20 to 24, 2025) to showcase their latest developments to industry professionals and connect with the international gaming scene. The 2025 appearance will be held under the motto: “THE LÄND – Games & Virtual Worlds Made in Baden-Württemberg.” Come by!
This year, nine companies will be presenting at the THE LÄND booth. Our lineup of CREATORS includes b.ReX and kaleidoscube, both based in Stuttgart, and Zeitland media & games from Ludwigsburg. Other exhibitors include Blossom Seeker, GazeQuest, Half Soup Labs, kr3m. media, LAB132, and PONG.Li.
The THE LÄND state and joint booth can be visited from August 20 to 22, 2025, in the Business Area (Hall 4.1, Booth C64).
Additionally, for the first time this year, four indie studios from Baden-Württemberg will be presenting at the Indie Arena Booth (August 20–24) in Hall 10.2: Studio Seufz with “Lucky Tower Ultimate” and kaleidoscube with “Recur” – both members of AMCRS – alongside Application Systems Heidelberg and Walk The Frog.

Let’s dive into STUTTGART ANIMATED WEEK 2025! Animation, VFX and games fans, professionals, and students from around the world are coming together in Stuttgart to explore the latest trends, cutting-edge technologies, stunning projects, and the most exciting stories.

And of course, our CREATORS are part of it, too! Let’s take a look at how they’re contributing during these inspiring days: the talks, presentations, and workshops they’re leading, where you can meet and chat with them in person, what they’ve curated — and which of their projects you can see on site or even try out for yourself.
