Eligibility criteria

Due to the high demand, we have limited spots for game teams to utilize the space. As such, we prioritize game teams with the most need. These eligibility criteria are subject to change and there may be exceptions made in certain scenarios.

  • Your game studio requires an office to work in – for example your current office isn’t suitable for operations, you are a newly founded company or you have to move soon.
  • Your game studio is less than 2 years old (with exceptions made for mostly work-for-hire studios pivoting to full time game development) and is actively working on a game project.
  • Your game studio is either a formed company (osakeyhtiö, LLC or other form of company) or a game team with demonstrable progress (fresh video, pitch deck or other footage to confirm active progress).
  • Your game studio has two or more people working on a game.
  • You commit to use the office space extensively for only the purpose of game development.
  • You adhere to office space rules and regulations.
  • You and your game studio are ready to attend Finnish Game Incubator aligned talks and courses held in the office space.
