Why We Need GAME LAB ?

BGL, the Baghdad Game Lab, operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry—the game industry. With global game industry revenues surpassing those of the movie industry and billions of people worldwide playing video games, the potential for success is immense.

We recognize the unique challenges and opportunities that game start-ups face. Our mission is to provide the necessary guidance and support to aspiring game designers in Iraq, helping them take their first steps in the game industry and connect with fellow game creators. We understand that the game industry encompasses a complex web of strategic decisions spanning game design, monetization, target audience, player motivations, live ops content, art, user acquisition, and more.

To fulfill our mission, we have developed a roadmap based on practical learnings, methods, and approaches from various sources of game incubation and game business development expertise. This roadmap serves as a handbook for game incubation planning or as a foundation for a deeper understanding of the unique needs of game start-ups. Within this roadmap, we have categorized specific experiences and solutions into four high-level categories. However, we understand that each start-up has its own goals, environment, and circumstances. Therefore, we encourage you to follow the path that best aligns with your objectives.

By leveraging our expertise, network, and resources, BGL aims to empower game start-ups in Iraq, enabling them to thrive in this competitive industry. We believe that by focusing on the game industry's distinct requirements and fostering the growth of local talent, we can contribute to the overall development of the gaming ecosystem and unlock the immense potential it holds.
