The TOKYO INDIE GAMES SUMMIT(hereinafter referred to as TIGS)has introduced a business matching system called "MeetToMatch" for creators, publishers, media, and others who want to meet with event participants to talk business.

What is "MeetToMatch" ?

"MeetToMatch" is a business matching system used for major B2B events in the gaming industry. You can use it to set up business negotiations, check stage events/sessions, and search for exhibition contents and services. This premium event matching service will allow you to meet potential business partners and experience events not by chance, but by necessity.

Advantages of using "MeetToMatch"

  • 1 Contacting the participants during the exhibition period

    TIGS encourages all exhibitors to register their "MeetToMatch" information.

  • What is Indie Game Creator Support?

    • The PTW Group, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, has many achievements as Japan‘s first dedicated debugging and verification operator. However, the origin of the business was to solve the problem of a "game development company" with which they had a relationship with at the time.
    • Since then, the game industry has changed drastically, and the environment has become more active for creators, so I feel that the sense of challenge has changed since then.
    • Indie Game Creator Support is a project that we, the PTW Group, have launched to revitalize the indie game market, and to fully support creators. In order to support creators in all aspects, we will set up a consultation desk at TIGS so that you can consult with us on anything you are having trouble with or worrying about, from game development to release.
