Copenhagen MatchUp takes place in close connection with the Nordic Game Conference on May 29th, allowing participants to extend their presence into one of Europe’s most important industry gatherings. Together, the two moments create a powerful corridor of opportunity: MatchUp delivers focused, high-value conversations, while Nordic Game expands the network and perspective across the global ecosystem.
Arranged by Games Denmark in partnership with Dansk Erhverv, Copenhagen MatchUp is built on a simple idea: when the right people meet under the right conditions, growth accelerates. It is efficient without being transactional, ambitious without losing its warmth, and designed for those who believe the strongest partnerships begin face to face.
Yet what makes MatchUp truly distinctive is its atmosphere. Set in Copenhagen, the event combines professional sharpness with a distinctly Nordic sense of openness. Conversations unfold in a setting that feels close, welcoming, and human. Deals begin faster when the room invites honesty, and MatchUp is designed to encourage exactly that balance between strategic clarity and genuine connection.
For publishers and capital partners, this means less filtering and more dialogue with studios already oriented toward international markets. For developers, it offers direct access to decision-makers who understand the long horizon of building strong IP and sustainable companies. The result is not just meetings, but alignment.
