Serious Connection

nlgd_040_02_190608_113526.gif Europe is a big player in the field of serious games. The Festival of Games harnesses Europe's creative power and gives an insight into the unique European approach, not only when it comes to mainstream gaming but also for serious games.
The Serious Connection was a place where gamesindustry and non-gamesindustry people meet to share their experiences in the serious gaming arena. People from the supply- as well as the demand side have discussed what they have encountered in the past and have presented their latest challenges. Besides the serious gaming experts were also a large group of people that are interested in the development of serious games and their applications to see how and if they can implement this into their own organizations or projects. For both groups there were plenty of opportunities to share knowledge and to exchange information.

The Serious Connection, a must for:

  • companies and organizations that are interested in serious games and want to explore their possibilities;
  • companies and organizations that are looking to have or already have implemented serious games in their operations;
  • game developers that are specialized in serious games;
  • game developers that are focused on entertainment
  • and advergames.

Berenschot is an independent firm of management consultants in the Benelux countries, employing around 450 people. For 70 years we have been surprising our clients with new insights, created and put into practice by us by linking innovation with creativity – time and again. That is the very heart of what we do, something our clients all experience for themselves. They choose Berenschot because our advice gives them an advantage.

Our office is full of inspiring individuals, each of them confident of their own abilities and ideas, and they all share the same passion: organising. We are open, curious, interested, and the bar is high. That is why there is a Berenschot Academy, and that is why there is a Berenschot Foundation, for stimulating research. After all, our clients are entitled to properly trained consultants and professional advice in line with all the latest insights.

Berenschot is a Dutch firm through and through, but is also thoroughly international in outlook. It has a branch in Europe’s capital, Brussels, and is a partner in the E-I Consulting Group, a European collaboration partnership of leading consultancy firms. That means we succeed in combining tradition with present-day developments.
