Seongnam City, Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency, and Korea Mobile Game Association will simultaneously host the 'GXG 2026 x INDIECRAFT Collaboration Exhibition' and the '2026 Connect Fair : K-Game Export Consultation' in Pangyo on September 11 and 12.

The two events aim to support the growth and global expansion of small and medium-sized domestic indie game companies by connecting domestic indie game exhibitions with business consultations with overseas partner companies.

'INDIECRAFT' is an indie game festival hosted by Seongnam City and co-organized by the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency and the Korea Mobile Game Association. The offline exhibition will be held in the special exhibition hall on the 1st floor of Pangyo Tech One Tower. Operating hours are from 1 PM to 6 PM, and on the 12th, visitors can enter starting at 11 AM.

A total of 51 live booths operated by developers selected for INDIECRAFT 2026 will be running, allowing visitors to directly play the entries and communicate with the developers. A separate unmanned exhibition booth showcasing works from the challenger category, centered around university student teams, will also be open.

In the 'Brazil Special Pavilion', which is organized for the first time this year, visitors can meet four Brazilian indie games. The participating studios are Venn Studios, 2Wedges, Coffeenauts, and Mito Games.

During the exhibition period, the second round of user evaluation (FGT) judging will take place concurrently. The evaluation results will be reflected in the selection of the TOP 3 domestic categories, and visitor feedback will be utilized to improve the completeness of the games.

The '2026 Connect Fair : K-Game Export Consultation' will be held at the Space Ballroom on the basement floor 1 of Gravity Seoul Pangyo Autograph Collection.

This is a business program designed to support global expansion—such as overseas publishing, investment attraction, and local services—by connecting domestic small and medium-sized game companies with overseas publishers and investors through 1-on-1 meetings. Around 30 overseas partner companies from the US, Japan, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Australia are participating.

Major partners include Cygames and Phoenixx (Japan), TapTap (China), DiGeam and Softstar (Taiwan), Gamota (Vietnam), APPGURU (Singapore), Kaigan Games (Malaysia), Plan A Games (USA), Entalto Publishing (Spain), and Behold Ventures (Sweden). Domestically, around 80 game companies, including developers selected for INDIECRAFT, have applied.

This setup allows developers to check user reactions and smoothly transition into business discussions with overseas partners on the same day.

Lee Ju-yeon, President of the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency, stated, 'We believe that the growing achievements of INDIECRAFT every year demonstrate the true potential of the domestic indie game industry,' adding, 'To ensure that indie game developers with outstanding capabilities receive fair evaluation and grow, the Seongnam Industry Promotion Agency will continuously strive to discover excellent companies and support their global expansion.'

Hwang Sung-ik, President of the Korea Mobile Game Association, remarked, 'For the past 10 years, INDIECRAFT has served as a stepping stone for domestic indie game developers to meet users and advance into the world,' and noted, 'This year, by collaborating with GXG 2026, even more citizens can enjoy indie games, and through the Connect Fair held on the same day, we will support developers in creating tangible results with overseas partners.'
