The Bavarian State Ministry for Digital Affairs is the first of its kind in all of Germany. At its head is Digital Minister Dr. Fabian Mehring. As the leader, he steers the digital transformation of administration and economy in the Free State. He advocates for new technologies and represents the interests of the citizens in the digital transformation.
Supporting the gaming industry in Bavaria is a heartfelt concern for State Minister Mehring. The "Games Minister" describes the industry as the "Formula 1 of digitalization" and is committed to promoting Bavarian game studios. In 2024, over 2.5 million euros have already been invested in supporting Bavarian gaming projects.
Recently, Mehring announced the establishment of a new center for game developers – The GAMEREI – with the ministry's support of 560,000 euros.
