Brazil's game industry will be featured at the panel Brazil: The Next Super Territory for Games, which will present a brief overview of the Brazilian game landscape and ecosystem and the reason why game companies should be mapping this new territory. The panel will be presented by Eliana Russi, executive manager of Brazil Games, on October 30th, at 2 pm.

"We will showcase the vibrant Brazilian game industry, which has stood out in the international press and industry events", says Russi. The executive manager recalls the first participation of the project at Game Connection Europe in 2013, according to her, the Brazilian game industry was totally unknown until then. "In five years a lot has changed and Brazil has become a major player in the global game market. Brazil Games and BIG Festival are key elements in placing the country as a game producer and not only a consumer market", celebrates.
