Games Business Centre

After a highly successful debut, the Games Business Centre returns to the Bologna Children's Book Fair in 2026 — stronger, bigger and more connected than ever.

Positioned at the very heart of BCBF, the Games Business Centre has quickly established itself as the go-to hub where the gaming world meets publishing, film/TV production and licensing. A space where professionals from across the globe come together to explore how interactive entertainment is reshaping the way stories are created, shared and experienced — from children to adults.

Beyond business meetings, the Centre will host a vibrant programme of events, exclusive previews and talks tackling some of the most pressing topics in the industry — from cross-media rights to the growing role of gaming in content creation for wide and diverse audiences.

Companies participating in this business area benefit from a tailored matchmaking service, a dedicated meeting space and a full range of facilities designed to make every moment at the fair count.

The Games Business Centre is an initiative organised in collaboration with Frankfurter Buchmesse, opening the door for video game professionals and offering the publishing industry a unique gateway into the gaming world.
