Tencent said it signed a "strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) for building a sustainable global game ecosystem and enhancing the cultural and social value of games" with the Game Culture Foundation on the 19th.
Through this agreement, the two sides agreed to work together to widely promote the social and cultural value of games and to build a healthy game industry ecosystem in line with the rapidly changing global environment. As part of this, they will hold an international symposium to boost exchanges in game policy and culture, and continue mutual cooperation to spread the cultural and social value of games. In particular, Tencent will officially sponsor the "International Game Culture Symposium" held at G-Star, the country's largest game exhibition, on Nov. 19 at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO) in Busan.
Danny Marti, Tencent's head of public affairs and global policy, said, "In a game industry that continues to change and grow, Tencent will support the development of Korea's game industry and ecosystem and continue its role as a trusted partner."
Chair Yu Byeong-han said, "Through close cooperation with industry partners like Tencent, the Game Culture Foundation will work to advance a healthy and responsible game culture."
In addition, Tencent is continuing its cooperation with the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) to foster the growth of the domestic game industry and nurture the next generation of game talent.
