For the second year in a row, the French Trade Commission will accompany a delegation of French video-game publishers, developers, designers and other specialists who are internationally renowned for the quality of their products and services.

In 2011, the French delegation of video-game companies will be specialists in the development of games for mobile-telephone platforms. They will showcase their designs, products and services on the occasion of the opening day of the Forum, which will take place in January of next year.

The French participants will be seeking to develop partnerships with other companies attending the event and will be available for one-to-one business meetings on the French Pavilion during the Forum.
