■概要 Summary
In 2022, the European Union prioritized strengthening the cultural and creative dimensions of the video game sector as a key action point for 2023–2026. In 2025, Denmark launched Europe’s first dedicated institute for game development under its Ministry of Culture, focused on supporting original Danish games. Together, these reflect how European and Scandinavian game industries cultivate unique national frameworks, political traditions, and industrial communities that enable diverse production cultures – supported by art funding, professional education, and grassroots movements. In this presentation, PhD researcher Mark Staun Poulsen and Prof. Hanna Wirman share progress on creating and updating the first timeline of Danish game industry conditions. They document formative policies, entities, and support structures, illustrating how these have shaped local environments for commerce, education, and artistry over the past 25 years, culminating in recent institutionalization. Drawing from this chronology, the authors trace overlapping, and at times conflicting, public programs and private interests driving professionalization, while reflecting on the method’s limitations for uncovering industry data, politics, and history.
