Spring 2026 brought the eGames Lab community together in Funchal for three back-to-back moments that marked the closing stretch of the Agenda.

From 24 April to 3 May, eGames Lab > Ready to Play!, promoted by Startup Madeira at MadeiraShopping, opened the consortium’s work to the public with a free play zone to try games from WOWSystems, WalkMe, Redcatpig, FootAR, Yacooba Labs, Infinity Games, APCA and Greener Act, school sessions and the public demonstration of Ezekiel, the blockchain-based play-to-earn game with Moral AI developed within PPS1.

On 7 and 8 May, the 2nd edition of the Madeira Games Summit, the brand driven by ACIF-CCIM, brought international industry players to the island for talks, networking and meetings with the regional and national studios.

The cycle closed on 20 May with the 4th National Meeting of the eGames Lab consortium, held at the Savoy Palace in Funchal. Partners from the 22 consortium entities reviewed the final results of the seven PPS (Products, Processes and Services), the completion of the national network of Gaming Hubs and the plans for exploitation and dissemination after the Agenda.

Together, the three events confirmed Madeira as a meeting point for the Portuguese games ecosystem and set the tone for the international season that followed at gamescom and the Tokyo Game Show.
