Building a cross-border growth engine for game studios in Finland and Sweden

The Nordic games industry is globally recognized for its innovation and commercial success. Yet many small and medium-sized studios - especially outside major hubs - lack access to the strategic support, networks, and international expertise needed to scale.

XBorder Support4Games is designed to change that.

This cross-border initiative strengthens game industry SMEs in Österbotten (Finland) and Västerbotten (Sweden) by providing targeted business development support, internationalization tools, and access to experienced industry leaders.

Our mission is clear:

Boost competitiveness
Accelerate innovation
Enable International Growth

What We Do

Connect game studios across borders
Provide hands-on expertise in leadership, scaling, and global market entry
Facilitate international networking opportunities
Lay the groundwork for a long-term, sustainable cross-border game accelerator

By combining regional strengths and industry know-how, the project builds a lasting platform that helps studios find new export markets, create meaningful collaborations, and grow sustainably.
