Entrepreneurship in Games: Innovation versus Structure
10:10 - 10:30The quote “Straight roads don’t make skillful drivers” by Paulo Coelho is a perfect summary of the entrepreneurial experience. Building a successful and profitable business is never easy but the fulfillment that it can bring is unmatched. Newzoo was founded in 2007 by Peter Warman and Thijs Hagoort, who had very different careers and skills but a common passion for the games business.

Today, Newzoo has more than 100 employees and is considered the market leader in games trends, data, and analytics. It serves the most disruptive games, tech, and media companies in the world. Many pivots, gut-instinct decisions, and moments of pure luck helped pave Newzoo’s path to success. In this session, Newzoo’s Co-Founder and CEO Peter Warman will share these pivotal moments, his view on balancing innovation and structure, and his ten key learnings from being an entrepreneur in games.
