The project represents one of the key activities under the Municipality of Brod's Gaming Industry Development Strategy, through which the local community aims to develop an entirely new economic sector and position itself as a gaming industry center in Republika Srpska.

Following the Model of the Center in Novska

In May this year, the Brod Municipal Assembly adopted the Gaming Industry Development Strategy, creating the prerequisites for implementation of the project. Novska in Croatia was selected as the development model, having developed dozens of startup companies through its gaming incubator and become a regional center for video game development.

The next step followed in June, when the "Brodogradiliste" project was presented. It was announced at the time that Brod would establish a Gaming Industry Development Center, where young people would have the opportunity to receive training in video game development, 3D modeling, simulations and other areas of the IT sector. During the initial phase, instructors will be experts from the Gaming Industry Development Center in Novska, with the aim of training local professionals who will continue educating future generations.

The Municipality of Brod previously stated that it wants the project to contribute to the creation of new jobs, the retention of young people and the development of a modern IT industry, which could make Brod recognizable throughout Republika Srpska.
