We connect and represent game developers in Switzerland.

The SGDA in short

The independent Swiss Game Developers Association (SGDA) is the member-driven proponent for Swiss game developers. The non-profit organisation’s goals are a supportive political environment, professionalisation through promotion of knowhow and young talents as well as the increased visibility of a strong Swiss game industry. The SGDA hosts the «Swiss Game Awards» which honours Swiss innovation in games.
