We are launching the Prague Game Accelerator 2026!
Apply for the second round of the Prague Game Accelerator and get support for further developing your game. Applications will be accepted from June 5 to 19, 2026.
You can expect an intensive summer school, followed by 10 weeks of mentoring and consultations with gaming industry professionals, as well as intensive project development support. The program combines practical know-how, expert feedback, and work on specific development milestones.
The program is designed for aspiring Prague-based developers, students, indie teams, and recently established studios who are working on their own game prototype and want to take it further.
What will the accelerator offer you?
Workshops and Educational Program
During the program, you will participate in over 30 lectures and workshops led by experienced gaming industry professionals. Topics will cover various areas of game project development and growth — from technology and game design to marketing, business, and other practical issues related to preparing a game for the market.
Individual Mentoring
The program includes at least 30 hours of individual consultations. Mentoring will be tailored to the needs of your team and project, and will involve experts from various areas of game development, design, art, audio, marketing, business, law, or production.
A Clearer Plan for Further Development
Together with the acceleration manager and mentors, you will have the opportunity to better identify the project's strengths, target audience, next development steps, and fundamental business and production questions. The goal is to refine the project's direction and prepare a more concrete plan for its future development.
Structured Project Development Support
The accelerator is built around the team's continuous work on their own project. Through regular consultations, clearly defined milestones, and expert feedback, you will receive guidance that will help you further develop your prototype and better plan your next steps.
Community
The Prague Game Accelerator is entering its second year and is gradually building a community of teams, developers, and industry professionals. The program offers an opportunity to share experiences, consult on challenges, and meet other creators facing similar questions.
