The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) has announced a new competition as part of the GameINN program with a funding of PLN 80 million to support the development and innovation of the Polish video games industry.
"The video games industry is a solid foundation of the Polish economy. We want to strengthen it by investing in its most promising sectors. Development must be based on scientific resources so that the Polish economy will shift from imitative to innovative," said Minister of Science and Higher Education Jarosław Gowin.
The resources available under CD Projekt's GameINN are to be used for the design and development of technologies such as the construction of cross-platform graphic engines, real image mapping, 3D modelling for the needs of vast virtual worlds, or the application of artificial Intelligence in video games.
Businesses operating in the gaming industry will be able to apply for funding from June 1 to August 16, 2016. The competition is open to companies, or consortia of companies submitting projects worth between PLN 500,000 and PLN 20 million.
