Korea sending contingent of 15 developers to Games Convention Online
The Games Convention Online is the world's first trade show for browser, client and mobile gaming, due to run from July 31st to August 2nd at the popular Leipzig Exhibition Centre.

The event has partnered with the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to help introduce the European industry to the prolific Asian community of game developers and publishers.

"As the market leader in online and mobile gaming, Korea is already several years ahead in terms of know-how and technology. With its presentation at the Games Convention Online, trade and private visitors can see the future development of the European market and at the same time, tap into new ideas," says Silvana Kürschner, strategy director of GC Global.

A total of 15 Korean games companies have confirmed their attendance at Leipzig, and a special pavilion is to be installed in the shape of a traditional Korean tea garden to seduce online and mobile gamers to investigate what the Tiger Nation has to offer.

"For Korean publishers, the Games Convention Online is the gateway to the European online gaming market. Leipzig gives us the opportunity for the first time to show ourselves to gamers and to make contact with representatives of the industry," explains Il Kim, director of the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA).
