Finland's Ovi

The French cultural centre, the French-Finnish association for research and technology and Neogames (Finnish association for video games) are the main coordinators of DigiFrance 2006, the first European video game conference to be held on 2 June 2006.

This will be a unique opportunity to meet creators, researchers and companies who will present different exciting aspects of this rapidly developing sector. The conference will take place at High Tech Center-Helsinki (HTC Helsinki Pinta-talo – Room Kolumbus Tammasaarenkatu 1-5 00180 Helsinki)

The video game industry and multimedia creation represent a market value of 18 billion euros, more than two and a half times the turn-over of the American film industry. French companies hold 24% of the world market in game software and therefore the time is ripe for discussion about the development of this lucrative sector in Europe.

Key note speakers include Marita Liulia (founder of the Mobius Nordica prize for multimedia creation), Stéphane Natkin, director of ENJMIN (French school for video games and multimedia), Fernando Herrera (CEO of Rovia Mobile and Pascal Luban game designer of the multi-player versions of Splinter Cell (Ubisoft).
