In 2014, the Chinese mobile game market was about RMB 27 billion, an increase of more than 100% compared with 2013. It can be seen that in the era of mobile Internet, mobile games are becoming the protagonists of the game market in the past two years with their clear business model and strong profitability. The Xiamen Game Innovation Center established by the Jimei District Government is based on the Microsoft technology platform, with the strong support of the Microsoft technical team and the operation service of the innovation center provided by Touch Technology. It will promote the development of the mobile game industry and provide a fully-equipped benefit platform with advanced technology and concepts for developers who are interested in game development.

Li Huiyue, secretary of the Jimei District Committee of the Communist Party of China, said: "Jimei is a hometown of overseas Chinese and a century-old school village renowned both at home and abroad. It is also an important new urban district, cultural and educational district, and industrial district in Xiamen. Faced with the new normal of transformation and development, the district committee and government have proposed and implemented the development strategy of 'Beautiful Xiamen · Humanistic Jimei' to accelerate the cultivation of the '4+1' industrial system with advanced manufacturing, software and information, trade and logistics, cultural tourism, and characteristic industries as the core. The Entrepreneurship Building in the third phase of Xiamen Software Park in Jimei New City is the main platform for the development of the software and information industry in our district. The selection of Jimei to set up the Xiamen Game Innovation Center will surely play an important supporting and pillar role in the development of mobile Internet, smart city construction, and digital creative industries in Jimei District. Jimei District will also increase its support for entrepreneurs in the mobile Internet, especially in the field of mobile games, and provide the best incubation soil for game entrepreneurs."

Xiamen Game Innovation Center will promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation with the concept of "Internet +".

Vice President of Touchscreen Jin Xiaoying had an in-depth exchange with the guests

Chen Haozhi, CEO of Chukong Technology, said: "Chukong Technology will provide comprehensive technology, market, financing, human resources, legal, financial and other services for incubated enterprises. Here, innovative enterprises will grow rapidly and form a clustering effect after incubation and investment, and will also drive the rapid development of related industries such as cultural creativity, process design, virtual reality, animation production, and marketing promotion, forming a closely cooperative innovation ecosystem. At the Xiamen Game Innovation Center, we will provide developers with comprehensive technical support, and will also introduce more related services to provide developers with more comprehensive one-stop entrepreneurial services."

Srikanth Raju, General Manager of Microsoft Developer Experience and Platform Partnerships in Greater China, said: "Over the past two decades, Microsoft has been committed to working with the Chinese government to support and build a local ecosystem and innovate with China. We are very pleased to work with partners like Chukong Technology to provide entrepreneurs with Microsoft's platform tools to enable individuals and companies to achieve more and gain more. Now Microsoft will also provide a more open platform, and welcome every developer to build their own business model in the Microsoft ecosystem."

Microsoft, which advocates "mobile first, cloud first", is also embracing developers with a more open mind. At the Build 2015 conference just passed, Microsoft announced that it will support new sources of games and applications on the universal Windows platform. Developers who have focused on Android, iOS, and Web game development in the past can seamlessly migrate their applications to Windows 10. At the same time, to help developers improve productivity, Microsoft has brought the most complete development tools and runtimes for multiple platforms and cross-devices, including Visual Studio 2015 Release Candidate, which allows developers to more easily develop and deploy applications for Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android platforms. By 2018, the ecological scale of 1 billion Windows 10 devices will provide developers with a large enough game market to give full play to their game creativity and truly help entrepreneurs gain more opportunities.

We have every reason to believe that with the strong support of the government, Touch and Microsoft, the Xiamen Game Innovation Center will hopefully give birth to a new batch of leading Internet companies, injecting more fresh blood into the Chinese and even global mobile Internet market. Let us wait and see!
