The 2024 Taipei Game Show (TGS), held from January 25-28, returned after a four-year hiatus to the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.
Official tallies over the four-day event counted around 36,000 attendees, and the event was supported by both domestic and international exhibitors.
This year, the TGS B2B Zone this year drew in more than 1,800 business visitors from 35 countries and regions over two days, leading to almost 2,000 business discussions, affirming Taiwan’s role as a crucial hub in the Asia-Pacific gaming market.
The B2B Zone biz-matching system continued to offer the business card exchange feature for a month, allowing all business visitors to extend their networking beyond the physical venue. TGS will also periodically host various themed business networking events and continue collaborations with global expos.
The Asia Pacific Game Summit, which addressed the latest industry trends, was also filled. Bandai Namco Entertainment, Square Enix, Shueisha Games, and Ubisoft Montpellier, shared their diverse experiences of developing major game titles. Industry experts from companies such as Moloco, Xsolla, Google, Worldpay, Cloudflare, and The Game Marketer participated, dissecting from multiple angles how game operators can address pain points in marketing, payments, cybersecurity, localisation, and cloud applications, sharing secrets to exploring new blue ocean markets.
The next TGS will take place from January 23-26, 2025.
