Summit Push Program

The Summit Push Program aims to increase the visibility of local video game companies by showcasing their work at internationally recognized events and providing support to engage their ideal investment targets. The Summit Push Program includes an educational component to prepare participants to showcase at these events through workshops or other activities about exhibitor strategies, presentation skills, and effective networking at industry events.

The ESIO will lead and coordinate showcase opportunities at specified international markets for participants by providing access exhibition space for demos, sponsored events, meetings, and other events or activations benefiting the group. The ESIO will also provide financial support to successful applicants to help alleviate the burden of costs studios face in preparing to attend these events.

• Educational opportunities for team members to learn more about commercialization, pitching, showcasing and more
• Program participants will provide mentorship to participants of the Trailhead program (mentors will receive a nominal stipend for their mentorship time)
• Booth space at Game Con Canada to showcase the game

• $5,000 per studio to assist with costs to make it easier to attend the market
