València Game City is an initiative designed to consolidate and enhance Valencia as a leading hub in the video game and esports industry. Its objectives include strengthening the local industry, promoting innovation and education, promoting tourism and culture, boosting technological development, and promoting inclusion and social development.
The program is developed with more than 30 local entities, demonstrating a strong commitment and collaboration between the public and private sector.
In addition, the city has joined the video game cluster of the city of Madrid and based on this collaboration, alliances are being established.
VLC Game City energizes one of the floors of La Harinera. It is an experiential space at the service of the ecosystem, based on tools and technologies applied to the development of the gaming industry, where you can find various areas dedicated to mental training, VR for developers, driving simulators, competition and development of technologies and programming.
