Gamification Conference - Presentations

The Software Innovation Pole Cluster organised its first prominent event on 16 October, 2018, related to Gamification. The Cluster has brought the most experienced experts of the topic to the event. The conference featured "game-making" techniques for participating companies that can be used to improve their performance indicators. The techniques presented could serve as an inspirational for business entities and offer a wealth of new ideas in all areas of life and business. Also, the event was a platform to get acquainted with companies who have already recognized the benefits of gamification in product development and sales.

Gamification is a new corporate approach to inspire employees, which adds value to the company's business success. Did you know that based on some research:
- 30% of the employees change jobs within 1 year
- 60% of them change jobs again in the first 6 weeks of their employment
- their choices are determined by 70% of professional developmental prospects?
(Source: Games for Business)

Losing an employee in the first year may cost the company three times the cost of the person’s wage. This will lead organizations to rediscover themselves and their learning processes, which will help maintain success and identify future business needs. Gamification is a way of identifying the expectations of new employees, by which the individual can follow his own development, finding inspiration and motivation to his daily work professional advance.

What we could offer to participants was that professionally recognized gamification experts demonstrate gamification techniques that can be used to acquire the basics of gamification already during the conference. This way, business executives can already take advantage of their new knowledge in product development and sales the next day. At the conference, a key purpose was to reach a broad spectrum of the labor market in the context of today's inevitable company culture development. This kind of networking provides a forum for marketing and HR professionals, small and medium sized businesses, startup companies, companies focusing on gamification and process design, college and high school students, educators and presenters. The interest in the event grew to be enormous, in just over 2 weeks more than 100 participants registered and the number of companies and other organizations participating exceeded 50. With this order of magnitude, the event also provided an efficient space for building new business relationships and sharing experiences.

Presentations of the conference can be downloaded at the following links:
- Filák Péter, business development director, Games for Business
- Damsa Andrei, expert, NetCoGame
- Sárosi Róbert, CEO, Founder, Duelbox - Event Gamification
- Martonosi János, chief communication officer, Csongrád County Chamber of Commerce and Industry
- Heves Gábor, Regional Environmental Center and Kormányos József, GriffSoft Zrt.

1st Visegrad Clusters Congress has come to an end - heated discussions and important conclusions

V4's important role as a fast-growing market within the European Union


Closer cooperation of entities in the region V4 and Industry 4.0 were the main topics of the 1st Congress of Visegrad Clusters. Over 40 experts from 7 countries - representatives of business, public administration and academic circles, mainly from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary - for two days debated, among others, about financing and the most important problems related to the activity of clusters in the V4 region and their role in the reindustrialisation of the European economy. According to Artur Soboń, Deputy Minister of Investment and Development - the V4 region's economy is 64 million Europeans, GDP of the order of one trillion euros and huge saturation of companies, especially from the SME sector is a gigantic potential and it is necessary to build it in a common chain that will bring benefits to all.


The event entitled "1st Visegrad Clusters Congress, which took place on 25-26 September this year in the Educational and Congress Centre of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, was attended by over 150 people, including representatives of clusters from all over the country and countries of the Visegrad Group, presidents of enterprises associated in clusters, representatives of the Ministry of Enterprise and Technology and government agencies responsible for supporting and developing enterprises, but above all sympathizers and people interested in the subject of clustering. As underlined by the participants of the discussion, cooperation within clusters may redirect the region's economy towards Industry 4.0, based on innovations and new technological trends.


The Visegrad Group countries have a similar economic structure and are characterised by a fairly large share of industry. In the Czech Republic it exceeds 30 per cent, in Poland and other countries it is less than 30 per cent with the average for the old EU countries at 17 per cent. However, it is still less productive than in Western Europe. For this reason, according to Artur Soboń, Deputy Minister of Investment and Development, there is a need to redirect it to modern tracks, powered by digitization and robotization of Industry 4.0. and the role of clusters is huge here.


In Poland there are over 100 clusters (including 16 key clusters of strategic importance for the economy, selected in a competition organised by the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Technology), i.e. organisations bringing together companies and scientific entities from innovative sectors of the economy in specific regions of Poland. Cooperation within a cluster allows them to carry out joint research and development work, attract investments and exchange experiences, facilitates the establishment of business contacts. The majority of Polish clusters operate in the ICT, aerospace, biotechnology, chemical industry, recycling and construction sectors.


According to Krzysztof Krystowski, President of the Polish Clusters Employers' Association - Competitiveness of companies in the regions is very often connected with the so-called smart specialisation, i.e. intelligent local specialisations. Clusters are one of the tools thanks to which it is possible to support and develop such intelligent regional specialisations. We - as clusters from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary - support entrepreneurs by building both social and technical infrastructure, by supporting their investments, employee development, conducting research work, so that thanks to relations with science they create new technological solutions and innovations, and thus become more competitive.


Speakers representing clusters, but also Polish and foreign experts stressed the need to redefine the state policy towards the clusters of Group V4. Different methods of supporting clusters by governments and self-governments of V4 countries were presented, finding many similarities (especially among aid gaps) but also examples of "good practices" that can be shared by regional administrations. As an example of "good practices" it is worth mentioning the programme of the Czech government, which assumes support of 80 to 200 thousand Euros for start-up cluster initiatives (condition of at least 1 year of activity).


Despite significant difficulties in public financing, individual clusters achieve significant successes in supporting their members' activities, especially by associating business with science. Energylandia, a company that successfully develops innovative activities in the field of family entertainment through close cooperation with research institutions, has been presented as a positive example.

„My business story” or How to develop a business from your idea?



One of the most popular forms of financing today is the involvement of venture capital in the implementation of innovative ideas. Within the framework of our project HUSRB/1602/41/0190 we offer you an opportunity to jointly build your business model from idea generation and collection to the blueprint for a venture capital investor. In our work, we employ consultants who are familiar with the world of start-up and venture capital investments.

Necessarily, the process starts with the collection of ideas. The ideas collected may originate from companies, but we also intend to involve IT students. By this latter we also aim to let students know the Software Innovation Pole Cluster as a community and its members.

The three best ideas are shaped by our consultants to develop a business offer, which we present to a venture capital investor.

The aim of the initiative is to
1. show how a venture capital investment process and how start-ups work,
2. present the Cluster community to the labour market workers,
3. make other communities available to the Cluster, either for business or labour market opportunities.
4. the program is implemented with the involvement of the Subotica and Novi Sad clusters, which also provides an opportunity to look beyond the region of Szeged.
The program will be introduced at personal meetings and will be presented at our conference on October 16th.

Idea proposals up to 3-5 pages in length are to be submitted by 15 November 2018, to the following e-mail address: konya.monika@portanovum.hu. The ideas presented are evaluated based on the following content elements: customers, products, timing, competitors, financial aspects, implementing team.

The discussions already launched at the two-day meeting of cluster representatives of Visegrad Group countries, i.e. innovations in clusters (cooperation in the field of R&D within clusters) and cluster policies in individual V4 countries, will be continued at the two-day meeting organised within the framework of the project "Clusters in the Visegrad Group - Challenges of the Future".

Congress intend to face the problems related to the functioning of clusters in the V4 region. We create a space for exchanging experiences, solving problems, and creating a network of people engaged in the activity of clusters in the countries of the Visegrád Group (V4). Cooperation between entities from the V4 region and the Industry 4.0 revolution will be key subject. It’s a chance for the reindustrialisation of Europe, in particular attractive and possible to implement for economies of countries that base industrial development on new ICT technologies, automation, robotization and ecology requirements.

The congress will be held in Gliwice, Poland, on 25-26 September, 2018, where the Software Innovation Pole Cluster is to be represented by Porta Novum Nonprofit Ltd.

Further information related to the congress is available at the event's website.
