Belgium’s central location in Europe makes it a strong base for the video game industry. The country is home to a diverse array of studios, from pioneering startups to internationally acclaimed developers. This ecosystem is supported by top-tier educational institutions that provide a steady stream of skilled talent. And with Brussels at the heart of European policymaking, Belgium offers strategic advantages for international publishers and platforms.

The Belgian video game sector has recently experienced significant expansion: the number of video game companies in Belgium nearly doubled in the last five years, reflecting the industry's robust development and the increasing global recognition of Belgian game developers.This growth is complemented by a diverse and inclusive workforce, with women representing an increasing percentage of the industry's professionals.

Government support for game development is handled at the regional level. In 2023, the Tax Shelter was introduced at the federal level. This government tax incentive allows investors to receive tax exemptions by financing eligible video game productions, making Belgium one of the few countries where such a national fiscal tool supports the sector’s stability and global competitiveness.
