This year, Federal Transport and Digital Minister Andreas Scheuer, together with State Minister for Digitalization Dorothee Bär, will Gamescom 2019. This was announced by the Association of the German Games Industry (game) and Koelnmesse GmbH. Both politicians will speak at the opening ceremony on August 20th and then take part in a tour of the exhibition halls.


Federal Minister Andreas Scheuer and Digital State Minister Dorothee Bär will speak at the opening of Gamescom on August 20th and then take part in the opening tour. In addition to Scheuer and Bär, Dr. Joachim Stamp, Deputy Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia and Minister for Children, Family, Refugees and Integration, and Cologne's Mayor Henriette Reker will also welcome guests at the opening. During the subsequent tour, the political guests will be informed about the current trends in the games industry and the highlights of this year's gamescom informed.

The opening event of Gamescom will take place on August 20th at 10.30 a.m. in the Konrad-Adenauer-Saal of the Congress Center North. The event is only open to invited guests and journalists accredited for gamescom.

“We are delighted to welcome Andreas Scheuer, the Federal Minister responsible for games funding, to the opening of the gamescom in Cologne. Here, together with Digital State Minister Dorothee Bär and the other political guests, we want to discuss the right framework conditions for the games industry in Germany and provide an overview of the current trends in our medium."

Felix Falk, Managing Director of game - Association of the German Games Industry

Andreas Scheuer's visit should also be particularly interesting because the federal government has not provided any funding for the developers in its draft budget for 2020. Dorothee Bär, however, recently announced that she still wanted to save the games funding. The Minister of State for Digitization wants to campaign for funding. It is possible to postpone the measure in the parliamentary procedure.

There may also be references to the reasons for the cancellation of the funds as part of the speeches at Gamescom 2019. So far it has been speculated that the funding has been put on hold because of the ECJ's decision against a toll. So far, however, nobody has wanted to confirm this.

Information and all tickets that are still available can be found at www.gamescom.de.
