To fuel tech-driven entrepreneurship and support Brampton’s growing innovation economy, Algoma University’s Startup GameJam is a two-day event where students are given in depth training in design and develop original video games while building essential hands-on technical and creative skills.
The initiative equips students with advanced skills to succeed in evolving industries such as gaming, retail, entertainment, education, health care, manufacturing, and fosters tech-driven entrepreneurship. At the event, students receive intensive training on game development, market research, business strategy, and pitch creation, then put their skills to the test by building game prototypes in just two days and presenting their ideas to expert judges from Unity Technologies Inc. and Algoma University.
With the gaming industry projected to exceed $300 billion globally by 2026, Startup Game Jam is an innovative opportunity to foster creativity, entrepreneurship, and technical expertise for students but also to foster more tech-driven businesses and startups for the local economy.
