The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) are now calling for new tenants to join the Global Game Hub Center in the first half of 2026.

Through this latest call, they aim to select a total of 32 small and medium-sized game developers as well as prospective and early-stage startups, providing them with office space, development infrastructure, and growth-focused programs.

Located on the 8th and 9th floors of the LH Corporate Growth Center in Pangyo’s 2nd Techno Valley, Gyeonggi-do, the Global Game Hub Center serves as a launchpad for SMEs, founders with less than five years of experience, and budding startup teams, offering both physical workspace and a suite of support programs.

The first recruitment drive for the first half of the year will select 14 companies for the Global Game Hub Center and 18 teams for the Game Venture 4.0 program, totaling 32 beneficiaries. These companies will gain access to subsidized office rent, maintenance fee support, essential development software, and testing facilities for mobile and virtual reality (VR) gaming.

In response to shifting industry tides, this year’s program sees a ramp-up in AI-integrated training and consulting, alongside new initiatives focused on motion capture to boost development efficiency.

Domestic SMEs are eligible to apply for the Global Game Hub Center, where successful applicants will receive 80% rent and 50% maintenance fee support. The standard residency is two years, though high-performing firms can extend their stay up to a maximum of four years pending review. Meanwhile, Game Venture 4.0 is open to those preparing for launch or companies under five years old, offering a full waiver on occupancy costs for up to two years.

Tenants can tap into a wealth of resources including training on the latest industry trends, professional consulting in tax, accounting, and legal affairs, as well as IR consulting and demo days to help secure investment.

Visit the official KOCCA website to check the full call for applications and prepare your documents for online submission by 11:00 AM on March 26.

Kim Seong-jun, Head of the Game and New Technology Division at KOCCA, noted, "The Global Game Hub Center remains committed to listening to our SMEs and expanding networking opportunities, ensuring we provide systematic support that helps our tenants grow into the main players of the evolving, AI-driven gaming landscape."
