CogniFit at ‘CazaCracks/MadridInGame 2024’: Building the Future of Gaming Talent
The vibrant city of Madrid is fast becoming a pivotal hub for the video game industry, thanks to significant investments by the regional government of the Community of Madrid. As part of a larger strategy to establish itself as the go-to destination for gaming innovation, Madrid hosts the annual ‘CazaCracks/MadridInGame’ event, which showcases top-tier talent, groundbreaking technologies, and collaborative efforts across the gaming ecosystem. This year, CogniFit proudly participated in this two-day fair, where we introduced our innovative digital solutions to leaders from universities, corporate sectors, and future industry professionals.
Madrid’s Vision: Becoming the Capital of the Video Game Industry
The Community of Madrid is investing heavily to position the city as a global reference point in the gaming industry. At the heart of this strategy lies the ‘MadridInGame’ initiative, an ambitious project working on two key fronts:
- The Campus: A physical space dedicated to gaming experience, esports, and game development. This hub offers interactive zones that foster creativity, engage esports enthusiasts, and provide modern facilities for game developers to innovate and collaborate.
- The Cluster: A unique ecosystem designed to bring together companies from across all sectors of the gaming industry. From small indie studios to large corporate enterprises, ‘The Cluster’ nurtures cooperation, creates new business opportunities, and acts as a bridge between education and industry.
This dual approach ensures that both the creative and business sides of the gaming world are cultivated in unison. At its core, MadridInGame focuses on talent development, education, and fostering a future-ready workforce to meet the demands of this rapidly evolving industry.
CazaCracks 2024: A Celebration of Talent and Innovation
The CazaCracks/MadridInGame 2024 fair put a spotlight on education, training, and industry-building efforts to develop the next generation of gaming professionals—referred to as “cracks” in local jargon, denoting top talent. Over two immersive days, the event brought together participants from corporate organizations, educational institutions, and government bodies to engage in meaningful dialogue and collaboration. The fair emphasized official training programs, university partnerships, and corporate-academic bridges that are vital to equipping future professionals with the skills they need.
At CazaCracks 2024, industry players worked together to build a sustainable talent pipeline that matches the needs of both the local and international markets. From showcasing new technologies to discussing innovative degree programs and esports initiatives, the fair was a breeding ground for ideas and solutions aimed at making Madrid a leader in gaming.
