VOInews, Jakarta: Polish Consul Jakub Zachek expressed optimism about the potential for collaboration between Poland and Indonesia in advancing the gaming industry. Speaking at the Special Roadshow Gaming Symposium in Jakarta on Wednesday (November 13, 2024), Jakub highlighted the crucial role of education in supporting the growth of the gaming sector in both countries.

Jakub mentioned that Poland, known as one of Europe’s major gaming hubs, currently offers various scholarships in game development and design, particularly for Indonesian students. One of the universities offering these scholarships is located in Rzeszów, a large city in eastern Poland, which has already welcomed some Indonesian students to study game development and design.

“There are many, many scholarships being offered by Polish universities right now in game development and game design, especially for Indonesian citizens,” Jakub explained. “One of them is a university in Rzeszów, a bigger town in the east of Poland. There are already Indonesian citizens there studying game development and game design,” he added.

According to Jakub, the Polish government has recognized the significant potential of the gaming industry and offers various forms of support, including scholarships through the National Agency of Academic Exchange. This agency provides scholarships and opportunities for international students, including those from Indonesia, to pursue studies in game-related fields. Jakub emphasized that support from the National Agency of Academic Exchange will assist Indonesian students who travel to Poland to further develop their skills in game design.

With closer collaboration between the two countries, Jakub hopes to see more Indonesian students and professionals involved in game development, both in Poland and in their home country.
