SARIO has actively participated at the online Picante Techconference 2021. Tomáš Salíni, senior consultant at the investment projects department, opened the conference with the presentation on the ´Slovak game development industry and VR/AR potential´. More than 100 people watched the presentation through the livestream. Slovak game development industry generates more than 50 Mil. EUR yearly revenues and creates more than 760 job positions with a higher added value. Slovak studios achieve 12% y-o-y revenues growth and number of jobs in a sector increased by more than 40% compared to last year (source: SGDA). This growth is based on a comparative advantage of the Slovak professionals, such as strong technical and creative skills. Game development industry has a huge potential to contribute to the overall diversification and shift towards the knowledge economy. SARIO is a strong part of the Slovak game development ecosystem and supports its growth with wide range of services. Besides providing full assistance to foreign companies considering Slovakia as a location for their new studio, we help also local Slovak studios to grow and get global.
