The Sustainability NEXUS 2024: A Look Back
On November 12th, 2024, we came together for something special: The Sustainability NEXUS.
This event wasn’t just another gathering; it was a heartfelt call to action for the video game industry to embrace sustainability and be a force for good in the world.
Broadcast live from beautiful Stockholm, the event also connected communities through satellite gatherings in Berlin, Malmö and Cologne. In Cologne, Spielfabrique team made the Cologne Game Lab feel like a second home for discussions and bringing local creatives together for an inspiring day.

The morning was dedicated to talks from all across Europe about the most recent sustainability advancements: and initiatives in the games sector. In the afternoon, we hosted a workshop on the structural and policy drivers for sustainable action in the industry. Under the guidance of Joost Vervoort, participants developed where there are many more distribution platforms, games can be played for a much longer time, the industry has many more women actively shaping it, and developers enjoy fairer working conditions. This discussion has been the starting point of a larger investigation that we are starting in Strategies Horizon into policy recommendations for sustainability in games.
A huge thank you to everyone who tuned in online or joined us in person. Let’s keep the conversation going and continue pushing boundaries. Together, we can make our industry a true leader in sustainability. Until next time!
