According to Digi Capital and Newzoo the global market for mobile games will be worth $25 billion in 2015 (and as much as $41 billion by 2017).

Whilst there are obviously successful companies all over the world, there’s a disproportionate concentration in the Nordic region and Finland in particular with the likes of Supercell, Rovio and Fingersoft contributing as much as 10% of that market value.

At Pocket Gamer Connects in London (Vinopolis, 13-14th January) a focused group of VCs and private investors will get an exclusive chance to hear the business pitch of 10 of the hottest emerging talents from Finland. All of the pitching companies, hand-picked by Playa Game Industry Hub, have proven teams, a track record of initial success and are looking for series A investment to take their business to the next level.

The pitching companies include:
• Fragment Production
• Kukouri Mobile Entertainment
• NitroGames
• Seepia Games
• SongHi
• Star Arcade
• Traplight Games
• Tribeflame

In addition to the pitching session, investors will also gain access to the biggest dedicated mobile games trade show in Europe.
