"It is in our interest to help to grow the base of great game companies in Ireland and a games incubator initiative made the most sense to us. The first high potential teams to move into Digit's incubator, Bitsmith and Batcat, not only get access to purpose built office space but also access to mentoring from the Digit team, the most experienced games development team in the country. We are not an accelerator offering investment for equity, instead we are looking to continue the great initiatives already in place from EI by giving game startups the biggest chance of success," said Richard Barnwell, CEO of Digit, commenting at the launch.
