GameOps is committed to growing the Philippines as a global game development hub.
GameOps has been part of the Philippine game development industry since 2010, working with game developers and publishers around the world while building specialized Filipino teams across Quality Assurance, Live Operations, and Player Support.
But our commitment to game development in the Philippines goes beyond growing GameOps.
We believe that building a globally competitive Philippine games industry requires companies to invest in the ecosystem around them—developing talent, supporting local game studios, encouraging original intellectual property (IP), creating international connections, and opening more opportunities for Filipino game developers.
That’s why GameOps actively invests in game industry development in the Philippines through three major initiatives:
- MEE Games — supporting emerging Filipino game developers and original IP
- GameDev Summit — connecting the Philippine and Asia-Pacific games industry with the global market
- Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP) — contributing to industry development, advocacy, and international market expansion through active membership and board leadership
We also participate in international game industry events and Philippine trade delegations to help showcase the country’s capabilities to developers, publishers, investors, and potential partners around the world.
Our goal is simple:
Help build a stronger, more globally connected Philippine game development ecosystem.
Our Philippine Game Industry Development Initiatives
MEE Games: Supporting Filipino Game Developers and Original IP
Helping the next generation of Filipino game developers turn promising ideas into sustainable game businesses.
GameOps co-founded MEE Games, a game incubator in the Philippines created together with fellow game industry advocates to support emerging Philippine-based game developers and studios.
The Philippines has no shortage of talented programmers, artists, designers, producers, and creators.
But creating a successful game requires more than talent.
Early-stage developers also need access to experienced mentors, funding, production guidance, business knowledge, industry networks, publishers, investors, and opportunities to bring their games to market.
MEE Games was created to help bridge these gaps.
What Does MEE Games Do?
MEE Games supports Philippine game developers through:
- Game development mentorship
- Early-stage funding opportunities
- Production and strategic guidance
- Business development support
- Industry connections
- Community and knowledge sharing
- Access to potential publishers, investors, and partners
The objective is not simply to help developers finish a game.
MEE Games aims to help promising teams develop the skills, networks, strategies, and business foundations required to create commercially viable games and sustainable Philippine game studios.
Building More Filipino-Owned Games and IP
The Philippines has developed a strong reputation for contributing talent to international game projects.
We believe there is also an opportunity to build more original Filipino games and intellectual property.
Supporting original IP can help create new studios, attract investment, generate employment, develop specialized expertise, and establish Philippine-made games in international markets.
Through MEE Games, GameOps is investing in the developers who could build that future.
GameDev Summit: Connecting the Philippines With the Global Games Industry
An international B2B game development conference created and produced by GameOps.
GameOps is the creator and producer of GameDev Summit (GDS), an international B2B game development conference in the Philippines designed to connect developers, publishers, external development companies, investors, technology providers, and other game industry leaders.
GameDev Summit was created around a challenge GameOps encountered through years of international business development:
Many of the most important conversations in the global games industry happen thousands of kilometers away from the Philippines.
So we decided to help bring those conversations closer to home.
Connecting Asia-Pacific Game Development With the World
GameDev Summit brings together participants from the Philippines, Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and other international markets to exchange knowledge, discover opportunities, and build meaningful industry relationships.
GDS connects:
- Game developers and studios
- Publishers
- External development and co-development companies
- Independent game developers
- Investors
- Technology companies
- Game service providers
- Industry associations
- Government and trade organizations
- Educators and industry advocates
Through keynotes, panels, workshops, business meetings, matchmaking, networking, and industry discussions, GDS creates an environment designed around collaboration.
More Than a Game Development Conference
GameDev Summit isn’t simply about bringing people together for a few days.
The objective is to create relationships that continue after the conference ends.
A meeting can become a partnership.
A developer can meet a publisher.
An independent studio can meet an investor.
A Philippine company can meet an international client.
And an international company can discover capabilities and opportunities in the Philippines and wider Asia-Pacific region.
Through GameDev Summit, GameOps is helping create another bridge between the Philippine game development industry and the global games market.
Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP)
Actively contributing to the growth and internationalization of Philippine game development.
GameOps is an active member of the Game Developers Association of the Philippines (GDAP), the country’s game industry association representing Philippine game development companies and professionals.
Our involvement extends beyond membership.
GameOps holds a seat on the GDAP Board, giving us an opportunity to actively contribute to initiatives and conversations shaping the future of game development in the Philippines.
Through GDAP, we work alongside other Philippine game industry leaders to address common challenges, advocate for the sector, develop talent, expand international opportunities, and strengthen the country’s position within the global games industry.
Working Together to Grow Philippine Game Development
Our work with GDAP supports areas including:
- Philippine game industry advocacy
- International market development
- Government and private-sector collaboration
- Game development education and talent development
- Industry-academe partnerships
- External development and outsourcing opportunities
- Original IP development
- Investment and business opportunities
- International trade missions
- Philippine participation in global game industry events
- Promotion of Philippine game development capabilities internationally
We believe industry associations play an essential role in creating sustainable growth.
No individual company can build an entire game development ecosystem.
But when game studios, service providers, government agencies, educators, investors, and international partners work together, the industry can solve bigger challenges and create opportunities that benefit everyone.
Bringing Filipino game industry capabilities to international markets.
Bringing Filipino game industry capabilities to international markets.
Another important part of GameOps’ industry development work is helping increase the international visibility of the Philippine game development industry.
GameOps regularly participates in international game conferences, trade missions, B2B events, and official Philippine game development delegations.
Our teams have represented Philippine capabilities at major international industry gatherings including:
Gamescom in Cologne, XDS in Vancouver, Nordic Game in Malmö, ChinaJoy in Shanghai, and other international game development events.
At these events, GameOps meets with game developers, publishers, external development leaders, investors, technology companies, and potential industry partners.
We showcase our own capabilities in Quality Assurance, Live Operations, and Player Support, but our participation has a wider objective as well.
We want more international game companies to discover what the Philippines can offer.
Connecting Philippine Game Development With Government, Academe, and Industry
A strong game development ecosystem requires collaboration.
Growing the Philippine games industry cannot be accomplished by game companies alone.
It requires collaboration among industry, government, academe, investors, international partners, and the wider creative economy.
GameOps actively participates in initiatives that strengthen these connections.
Through our own programs and our work with GDAP and other partners, we engage with government agencies, educational institutions, trade organizations, industry associations, and international stakeholders to explore opportunities around:
Talent development. Helping strengthen the pipeline of Filipino professionals equipped for careers in game development.
Industry-academe collaboration. Encouraging closer connections between education and the skills required by game companies.
Internationalization. Helping Philippine companies access global markets, industry events, clients, publishers, and investors.
Original IP development. Supporting more Filipino developers in creating and commercializing their own games.
Investment and entrepreneurship. Helping create an environment where Philippine game companies can start, grow, and compete.
Government-industry collaboration. Working with public-sector partners to create programs and policies that can strengthen the country’s game development ecosystem.
Why GameOps Invests in Philippine Game Industry Development
GameOps was founded in the Philippines in 2010.
As we’ve grown, we’ve had the opportunity to work alongside international developers and publishers and see firsthand how the global games industry operates.
That experience has reinforced something we strongly believe:
GameOps cannot reach its full potential unless the Philippine game development industry grows with us.
A stronger ecosystem means a stronger talent pool.
More studios mean more opportunities for collaboration.
More original IP creates opportunities for investment and entrepreneurship.
More international partnerships create jobs and professional experience for Filipino game developers.
And greater global recognition makes it easier for the next Philippine company to enter an international market.
That’s why industry development is not separate from our business strategy.
It’s part of it.
It will require investment in people.
It will require stronger Philippine game studios.
It will require more original games and intellectual property.
It will require closer collaboration between industry and education.
It will require government and private-sector partnerships.
Building the Future of Game Development in the Philippines
We believe the Philippines has the talent, creativity, experience, and potential to become an increasingly important player in the global video game industry.
Building that future will take time.
And it will require Philippine companies to continue showing up in international markets.
GameOps is committed to doing its part.
Through MEE Games, we’re helping support emerging developers and original IP.
Through GameDev Summit, we’re bringing international industry connections and conversations to the Philippines.
Through our active membership and board representation in GDAP, we’re working alongside fellow industry leaders to strengthen the ecosystem.
And through international game industry delegations and partnerships, we’re helping take Philippine capabilities to the world.
Building More Than Games. Building an Industry.
We don’t measure our impact only by how much GameOps grows.
We also look at the opportunities we can help create around us—for developers, studios, students, entrepreneurs, partners, and the wider Philippine game development community.
Because when more Filipino talent succeeds, the ecosystem becomes stronger.
When the ecosystem becomes stronger, more international opportunities follow.
And when the Philippines grows as a game development destination, we all move forward together.
Let’s build the future of Philippine game development.
