At Pocket Gamer Connects Helsinki 2014, Teemu Saarelainen from Cursor spoke about how the company and its EU-funded development project - Playa - has helped boost the games industry in southern Finland.

Playa's ambition is to grow and expand into one of the main game industry clusters in the world.

He says the five key aspects of supporting the industry that the project looked to invest in were:

• Business and process development
• Funding
