WATCH: Why Is Israel’s Gaming Sector, 2% of GDP, Overlooked by the Government?
Crypto payments, AI taking over, and calls for help - just another day in Israel's gaming sector
Toward the end of 2024, I went to Gaming 2024, an annual Calcalist conference in collaboration with Google and Playtika. It was the fourth time I attended in my role as a video interviewer to learn more about the sector, the ecosystem, and what we can expect in the year ahead.
This year I spoke to eight different gaming companies, all of which provided insightful perspectives on the industry and expressed optimism about its future. I wanted to share them here with you so you can learn more about them.
Some highlights:
Why isn’t the Israeli government paying attention to the industry?
How crypto payments will change gaming
When AI is involved, anything is possible
How a gaming company achieved 7 billion downloads
