eGames Lab was present at Mobidictum, where it took part in the largest mobile conference.

Many companies wanted to get to know the eGames Lab consortium, products, ecosystem and hubs.

Given that Turkey is a major mobile game development centre that already exceeds 900 million dollars annually, eGames Lab signed a memorandum of understanding and collaboration with Startgate, one of Turkey’s newest and most successful technology incubators, with the aim of opening a partnership corridor between the most extreme points of the old European continent.
