MFG: VFX and Games Industry in BW is Young, Successful, and Growing Rapidly
Baden-Württemberg has become the most important location for animation and VFX in Germany. This is the core message of a new study by Goldmedia, commissioned by MFG. The success of funding is also visible in the games sector.
However, the successes in the games industry were already evident in previous evaluations by the Game association regarding the most popular gaming locations in Germany. For many years, Baden-Württemberg has ranked behind Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Berlin, and Hamburg—by far the four largest games locations in Germany. Baden-Württemberg certainly owes its status as the undisputed leader of the chasing pack to the funding policies of MFG Medien- und Filmgesellschaft. MFG has been providing targeted support for the games industry for many years, with its budget steadily increasing. However, the southwesternmost state of the republic is even stronger in the fields of animation and visual effects (VFX).
