The countdown has started for Feexpo, the amusement fair scheduled in Bergamo from 27 to 29 February 2024.
The world of pure entertainment meets to showcase the best products for the Italian and international market, with panels, conferences and meetings that will allow them to discuss the present and future of the sector.
Space for all types of games, from traditional ones such as table football and shooters to virtual and augmented reality ones. But not only that, because in Bergamo the start-ups with ideas relating to the sector will be protagonists too: in fact, the great novelty of this second edition is the Call for ideas & start-ups, dedicated to the dreamers of amusement - also the title of the event which will will be held on February, the 28th, at the fair and which will see the final awards ceremony - a world that has made entertainment machines a historical element of development and which is now looking for new impetus, ideas and projects.
“The amusement world, 'our' world - Tiziano Tredese, president of the Consorzio Fee, states - while on the one hand it suffers from tightening of rules which in our opinion are unjustified, it is overly presumptuous like all closed systems are, of limiting developments to its own historical knowledge. With this contest dedicated to start-ups, we wanted to give a very strong boost to creativity applied to business, we wanted to leave our safety and see if the participants can surprise us from the outside with innovative ideas. It will be a great pleasure to be able to analyze not only the winning ones, but all the proposals received and, why not, some of us will also want to invest in the future, in ideas, to demonstrate to the amusement world that everything starts from here".
This is an exciting opportunity for creative minds, entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs, capable of giving significant momentum to the future of pure entertainment. The call is aimed at all those who want to transform ideas, projects and entrepreneurial dynamism into concrete actions. A springboard to become strong protagonists in the sector. "One of our targets as partners of Feexpo is to bring the gaming and entertainment sectors closer together, through content and new interaction models", Luigi Caputo, founder and Ceo of the Osservatorio italiano esports, says. "The launch of this start-up competition goes right in this direction, because supporting ideas and aspiring entrepreneurs means to assure a future for both sectors. We will create the conditions so that Feexpo is not just a fair, but an all-round moment of digital innovation".
The call is open to start-ups that will present ideas and projects to innovate the amusement arcade business. The deadline is January, the 31st, 2024.
