"Norwich Games Festival is such a vibrant part of the city's creative scene and has helped establish the artform of games as an important part of the wider cultural conversation. Our students benefit hugely from being part of this creative discussion and always find the opportunity to show their work to the wider public really inspiring and informative. As an arts university it's so important not to get trapped inside the ivory towers of the institution and to share work with the whole city"

Dean Bowman, Senior Lecturer in Games, Norwich University of the Arts 2026

It’s just worth really emphasising how important it is to have the [Norwich Games] Festival in terms of preparing young people for FE and higher education study, and also as a coalescing force for the games industry in the city and in the region.

“Connected Innovation is the innovation ecosystem for Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex which links together 36 leading innovation, science and research hubs into one of the UK’s most collaborative regional innovation clusters.

We see the value and importance of video games in the regional economy, with this year being our third year proudly sponsoring Norwich Games Festival. We recognise the exceptional hard work and talent across multi-disciplinary fields in game development which often go under appreciated, and we aim to help fix that”
