Support fund for video games
The support fund for video games represents selective funding to foster creation and innovation in the video game sector.
It is primarily composed of two measures aimed at supporting creative companies at the stage of developing and making the prototype of a game or in the production phase. The fund is supplemented by a third funding facility to support professional events.
In 2015, 47 projects were granted support, for a total investment of €3.8 million.

Video game Tax Credit
The tax credit for expenses incurred by video game creation allows creative companies, active
in this sector and located in France, to deduct 20% of eligible expenses from their taxes.
These expenses concern the production of videogames that contribute to the diversity of French and European creation.
