VirtualSoft Technologies, Chandigarh, has scaled up the participation from India to the Gwangju Ace Fair this year which will be held from 26 to 29 September in Kimdaejung Convention Center, South Korea. The delegation is headed by Dean Chitkara University and VirtualSoft director Vineet Raj Kapoor. This is the largest Indian delegation to participate in Gwangju Ace Fair till date.
Virtualsoft is the official India partner and coordinator for ACE Fair. Along with AnimationXpress support, they have put together the biggest Indian Delegation to ACE Fair.
Acefair is a fabulous platform which connects the global animation VFX, comics, gaming and virtual reality sectors with players across the globe. The event offers a very cost-effective package for international and Indian buyers and sellers to interact with the Korean market.
Most of the participants are expecting to bag some business and some other especially gaming companies are participating with a motive to have international feedback of the games they have developed.
Dinesh Raghav from Meraki Films commented that their main aim to attend ACE Fair 2019 is to find business partners to provide services in localisation of audios/videos (e.g., transcription, translation, music and effects separation, language dubbing, subtitling) and line production (for shooting in India, Thailand, Jamaica, Romania, Mexico).
Ashish Daga from Psypher Interactive is looking forward to meet likeminded Industry people and explore opportunities of working together in the gaming genre.
Rishi Raja from Lazy Couch is attending the Acefair for the first time. They are expecting to expand their game development services outside India and are also looking forward to collaboration with other companies.
Coordinator of the Indian delegation Bikramjit Singh finds that Ace Fair is the most affordable way for an Indian Indie Studio to learn about international content markets. He says, “With a package costing less than a lakh of rupees including air ticket, hotel and stall, there is no way you can find an easier way to interact with international buyers.
