TEHRAN – National Foundation for Computer Games (NFCG) director Hassan Karimi-Qoddusi announced on Tuesday that a German company will be among the sponsors supporting the Tehran Game Convention (TGC).

Speaking at a press conference in Tehran on Tuesday, he declined to announce the name of the company.

“This year the convention is of great importance since some countries are trying to isolate Iran after President Donald Trump reimposed economic sanctions against Iran,” he said.

“The participation of international computer and mobile game publishers can help neutralize the efforts made by some to isolate Iran,” Karimi-Qoddusi explained.

Representatives from dozens of international computer and mobile game publishers will be attending the second edition of TGC which will be organized at the IRIB International Conference Hall on July 5 and 6.

The participating companies include Wargaming.net from Cyprus, and HeroCraft and Mail.Ru Group, both from Russia. 

Also included are PlayAd Media Group, a pioneer in video advertising across the Nordic region, Inca Games, a producer and publisher of interactive content in Buenos Aires, Gamigo Group, a leading gaming business in Europe and North America and XENDEX, a pioneer in mobile gaming in Vienna.
