About Us

Welcome to Game Republic!

Game Republic is an industry-led games network that supports and promotes the Yorkshire and UK games industry, with members including Rockstar Leeds, Sumo Digital, Leeds Metropolitan University, Just Add Water, Four Door Lemon, Tuna, the University of Huddersfield and the University of Bradford.

Our mission statement is simply:
“More business for Game Republic members”

Game Republic is emerging from its predominantly public-funded past, and from April 2011 is expanding and offering more extensive commercial benefits to its Yorkshire and UK members, developing a more effective membership structure that will include games developers, digital publishers, digital companies, support industries and academic institutions.

Game Republic is evolving to become even more relevant and essential to businesses looking for support, contacts and business development in Yorkshire and the UK.
