WHEN PIXELS MEET CULTURE: POLAND AND INDONESIA SHAPING THE FUTURE OF GAMING
A dynamic fusion of creativity and culture uniting two nations to redefine the art and future of gaming worldwide
At the Poland-Indonesia Gaming Roadshow Symposium 2025, held at Quest San Hotel, Denpasar, on October 10, 2025, creators, developers, and business leaders from both countries came together to explore how storytelling, culture, and innovation can redefine the global gaming industry.
As part of Poland Festival 2025, the symposium was not only about gaming but also about building creative connections between the two nations. Organized by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) in collaboration with the Embassy of Poland in Jakarta and Gamecomm Indonesia, the event highlighted a growing partnership that continues to strengthen Southeast Asia’s presence in the global gaming landscape.
In a time when players spend more hours in digital worlds than ever before, games have become one of the most powerful mediums for storytelling. Both Poland and Indonesia are ready to lead this new era through creations that fuse technology, artistry, and cultural identity.
“Games are one of the most influential creative industries of our time, a space where stories, technology, and imagination converge. This collaboration shows how cultural values can shape the future of the global gaming industry,” said Barbara Szymanowska, Ambassador of Poland to Indonesia.
Her words struck a chord with developers, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals eager to transform local heritage into digital experiences capable of reaching global audiences.
From Kraków to Bali: Nurturing the Next Generation of Game Creators
Poland, known for world-renowned titles such as The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, has long been a leader in narrative-driven game development. Indonesia, on the other hand, is emerging as a vibrant creative hub, with independent studios gaining recognition for their cultural authenticity and innovative spirit.
The symposium provided a platform for these two creative forces to connect, fostering collaboration, exchange programs, and discussions on how regional folklore and narrative identity can inspire the next wave of global games.
From myth-inspired game design to AI-powered storytelling, the sessions revolved around one compelling question: “What happens when Southeast Asia’s imagination meets European craftsmanship?”
Judging from the energy and excitement in the room, the answer was clear — something transformative is on the horizon.
Poland Festival 2025: A Celebration of Creativity and Collaboration
As one of the key highlights of Poland Festival 2025, the symposium emphasized that Poland’s cultural diplomacy extends beyond business, focusing instead on creative exchange and shared innovation.
Through partnerships grounded in education, art, and technology, Poland and Indonesia demonstrate that the future of gaming belongs not to one region, but to creators around the world.
The message is unmistakable: the next groundbreaking game might not emerge from Silicon Valley or Tokyo, but from an inspired collaboration that began in Denpasar.
