Seventeen German game companies visited Japan around Tokyo Game Show 2026 as part of a Japan market development project backed by Germany's Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. At a pitch and networking reception at Akihabara UDX, a representative from Germany's Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space described a system that subsidizes up to 50 percent of game development costs, capped at 8 million euros per project, with more than 700 projects supported since 2019. A Canadian studio received 3.2 million euros toward an office in Munich. From Japan's side, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Cultural Creation Industry Division said the content industry is one of 17 government strategic fields, targeting 20 trillion yen in overseas sales by 2033, with games accounting for roughly 60 percent of overseas content sales.
