Hello World! Goodbye, Games Startup Crisis!

The first Scottish Student Startup Summit, 'Hello World!', has significantly boosted entrepreneurial intent among students, with 89% more likely to start their own businesses. This initiative aims to address the decline in new games startups and the growing number of games students facing limited employment opportunities in the UK's volatile games sector. The summit focused on the business aspects of game development, providing practical knowledge and commercial scaffolding to aspiring founders.
