Screen Queensland is supporting the developers behind up to three projects to attend BitSummit in Kyoto this July.

BitSummit is Japan’s leading indie games showcase, attracting publishers, investors, platform holders and media from across the Asia Pacific region.

Through our Market and Travel Grants, Screen Queensland will support delegates with up to $3,000 (excluding GST) per project.

This support covers registration, travel and accommodation expenses for the developers to attend BitSummit 2025.

As part of the delegation, recipients are also encouraged to also attend IGEA’s Osaka World Expo networking event following BitSummit on Tuesday 22 July. At the event, developers can demo their game and network with international attendees.

Applicants interested in attending the Osaka World Expo event should register their attendance here prior to applying for this grant.

Applicants acceptation into IGEA’s BitSummit delegation are welcome to also apply for Screen Queensland’s Market and Travel Grants.
