At the closing ceremony, Thailand’s Minister of Commerce Mrs. Supajee Suthamphan delivered remarks that captured the spirit of the event.

“I saw many impressive images at the event, including the fathers and children who worked together on the game — a picture that truly reflects the power of cross-generational creativity,” she said.

Speaking on Thailand’s growing role as a creative hub for gaming in Asia, she said, “What I particularly admire is that many game developers, though not Thai, have used the beauty and uniqueness of Thailand… This is the true ‘soft power’ that allows players worldwide to experience and understand Thailand through their splendid gaming experiences.”

This underscores the event as a launch pad for Thai creators into the global market.

On the international front, Managing Director & VP Asia-Pacific at Koelnmesse Mathias Kuepperechoed the sentiment.

“There was so much energy. There was so much creativity here on the show… from fans, creators, publishers, investors, developers.

We are onto something really, really great here… we’re here to stay, to grow this event together with all our partners,” he said.
