Mobile Games Demo Day 


Late last year we partnered with Ukie to kick off the Mobile Games Growth Programme. The first of its kind in the UK, we brought together 15 promising CEOs and leaders in the UK mobile space to help them flourish in their future business endeavours. Over 6 months, the cohort have undertaken 40 hours of content led by industry leaders – including creating a business plan, funding and finance, user acquisition and many more topics.
