Agenda
Amber: Distributed Development in Rising Countries
As co-development becomes an increasingly important model in the games industry, Amber offers a compelling example of how global studios can build sustainable development ecosystems across multiple regions. With teams in places such as Bucharest (Romania), Guadalajara (Mexico), Bogotá (Colombia), and Manila (Philippines), Amber actively invests in emerging markets - developing local talent, helping grow new game development communities, and creating opportunities for developers who may not otherwise have access to the global industry. Their approach is about more than just distributed production. It's about expanding where games are made, nurturing new talent, and connecting studios around the world into a truly global development network.
Amber's story is both unique and inspiring, and will make for a fascinating conversation. The fireside features CEO Mihai Pohontu and Chief Revenue Officer Andreea Enache, both Romanian-born industry veterans who have built international careers working with companies such as EA, Activision, and Disney / Marvel before helping shape Amber's global growth.
