Welcome to INDIE HUb

Our Mission

We strive to create a community of indie developers and support them in connecting and collaborating with each other. To achieve this, we created a variety of opportunities.​

Indie Hub helps developers improve their projects through events, workshops and feedback. In addition, we offer the chance to present to publishers, investors, business professionals and end users at our own game fair and other events organized by Indie Hub.

Our Events

INDIE House

With the INDIE House we want to address one of the biggest challenges indie developers have to overcome during gamescom week.
High accommodation costs
The INDIE Hub wants to address this issue and create a reliable and cost-effective alternative. So indie developers have the opportunity to participate in gamescom and fully concentrate on their exhibition.

In fall of 2023, we want to organize a new edition of the INDIE Campus.

 

Our Meetups

Indie Developer Stammtisch 

With our Indie Developer Stammtisch, we are open and welcoming to everyone who is involved in the indie game industry. Our goal is to create a community that networks and supports each other in the indie game industry as they develop and design their games. The Stammtisch met for the first time in a bar in November 2018 in Cologne, Germany but now mostly takes place online.

Managing Director Stefan Schmidt 

After working for the Private Health Insurance Association and for one of the largest social media platforms in the world, Stefan decided to dedicate himself to his passion for computer games. Supporting young talent was and is particularly important to him and since he has always loved indie games, he founded the Indie Developer Stammtisch in November 2018.
