What The New UK Government’s £30M Games Funding Means For Scotland
This week’s announcement of a £30 million Games Growth Package by the UK Government marks a significant moment of recognition for the interactive sector. With the doubling of the UK Games Fund (UKGF) to £28.5 million and the introduction of grants up to £250,000, Westminster has finally acknowledged the importance (and potential) of the £8.8 billion consumer market. However, while this capital injection is a vital down payment for de-risking new intellectual property, it is not a complete strategy for the future of the Scottish supercluster.
For Scotland, this news has a deep resonance. The UK Games Fund was born in Dundee, emerging from the Dare to be Digital programme at Abertay University. It is a Scottish success story that has been exported to the rest of the UK. Yet, the physical location of the fund in Dundee does not offer an inherent advantage to Scottish studios. Without a formalised national strategy to interface with this capital, Scotland risks acting as a landlord for a UK asset rather than a primary beneficiary of its expansion.
The limitation of the DCMS package lies in its ‘industry’ focus. As Nick Poole, CEO of UKIE, noted: “Targeted support across the development pipeline will help studios start, scale and stay globally competitive.” This vision remains firmly trapped within the consumer games market, which remains hugely volatile and increasingly competitive. It focuses on the entertainment side of games, while ignoring the wider ecosystem of interactive technology. It won’t address the sectoral isolation that keeps games expertise separated from the rest of the Scottish economy.
Please don’t misunderstand. The money is hugely valuable – and very welcome. However, there are a number of challenges facing the games sector, which the funding alone cannot solve. The industry is currently facing an oversupply of graduates, a lack of entry-level positions, and ongoing global market volatility. Throwing capital at studios without providing the commercial scaffolding required to build sustainable businesses is a high-risk approach. This is why the National Games Action Plan is essential. While the UK Government funding provides the fuel, the Action Plan provides the road, and the guidebook for the journey.
Projects like the Hello World! Startup Summit have already proven that we can transform a vulnerable talent pool into a resilient wave of new founders. By providing dedicated, games-specific business support alongside funding, we ensure that studios do not just survive a grant period but scale into the kind of high-growth companies Scotland needs.
With the Scottish Parliament now in recess and the election period beginning, the next administration faces a clear challenge. The UK Government has set the pace with this Growth Package. Scotland must now build upon it. While this new funding could be used to match-fund successful Scottish UKGF applications, the most critical single action remains strategic alignment – recognition of games as a key sector for Scotland’s future, building understanding of the whole games ecosystem across government and appointing a Chief Games Officer (CGO).
A CGO would provide the accountability and leadership required to elevate games across every portfolio of the Scottish Government. This role would enable the country to engage more successfully with UK-level funding while ensuring that our £151,382 GVA-per-head productivity is leveraged across areas including healthcare, energy, fintech, data, tech and education.
The goal is to establish a £1 billion supercluster by 2030. The DCMS announcement is a very welcome boost, but it does not remove the fundamental structural issues facing the sector. To move beyond the silo and achieve true national impact, the incoming Scottish Government must implement the Games Action Plan. The capital is now on the table – it is time for the strategic delivery to begin and for games to become an integral part of Scotland’s digital future.

The Golden Thread: Digital Health and Data Leaders Back Games Action Plan
The growing support for the future of Scotland’s games ecosystem has moved beyond the creative industries. In a significant move for the sector, the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre (DHI) and The Data Lab have formally aligned with the Level Up Scotland Games Action Plan, highlighting its potential to transform the nation’s digital future.
A Cross-Sector Mandate
In an article published this week, the DHI identifies games technology as a ‘Golden Thread’ for Scotland’s digital mental health and therapeutic innovation. The analysis reinforces a core pillar of the five+ year R&D roadmap: that games are no longer just entertainment, but high-performance tools for social, creative and economic impact.
The DHI feature supports the publication of the Games Action Plan, noting that its focus on skills, innovation, and ecosystem support is vital to integrating games technology into healthcare.
The Report States:
For those working at the intersection of games, immersive technology and mental health, this moment matters. The Action Plan’s focus on skills, sustainable growth, responsible innovation and ecosystem support aligns closely with the needs of digital mental health developers, from serious games and therapeutic experiences to tools supporting prevention, engagement and recovery.
The Triple Helix of Innovation
This endorsement is supported by The Data Lab, Scotland’s innovation centre for data and AI. Welcoming the publication of the roadmap, Heather Thomson, CEO of The Data Lab, noted:
- The Data Lab welcomes the publication of Level Up Scotland: A National Action Plan for the Scottish Games Sector. Scotland’s games industry is a significant contributor to our economy and shares strong synergies with the data and AI ecosystem, consuming and producing vast amounts of data, developing techniques and talent, with demand for shared skillsets. This evidence-based Action Plan provides a framework to support sustainable economic impact, strengthen talent pipelines and unlock investment. We support the vision and ambition set out for the sector and its potential to drive wider innovation across Scotland’s data-driven and creative economy. –
This Triple Helix of support – Industry, Government-backed Innovation Centres, and Academic R&D – validates the Games Action Plan as the collective vision for a more connected, innovative, and collaborative Scotland.
From Vision to Enactment
The support from DHI and The Data Lab is not a call for more reviews; it is a call for collaboration and delivery. As the DHI article notes, the Action Plan provides the foundational strategy required to bridge the gap between game developers and health practitioners.
“This is exactly why we have spent years building this evidence base, says SGN CEO Brian Baglow. When we sit down with the Minister on 18 March, we aren’t just bringing an industry ask. We are bringing a cross-sectoral consensus supported by the very innovation centres the Scottish Government has built to drive our future.”
The Roadmap to March 18th
The Games Action Plan is the primary vision for the sector’s growth. With the backing of the health and data communities, the case for the Chief Games Officer, dedicated funding, a national focus on games skills and education, and the National Games Innovation Centre (NGIC) becomes ever more compelling.
We look forward to welcoming our colleagues from the DHI, The Data Lab, and the wider ecosystem to the Scottish Parliament’s cross-party group on games, on 18 March to move from strategic vision to national delivery.

Scotland’s Games Cross-Party Group – Last Meeting Before 2026 Elections
The momentum following the recent Parliamentary debate on Scotland’s games sector is translating into action.
The next meeting of the Cross-Party Group (CPG) on Scotland’s Games Ecosystem will take place on March 18th, from 18:00 – 20:00. Interest from across the industry and academia has already been exceptionally high. With the committee room in the Scottish Parliament restricted to a strict capacity of only 26 people, the available in-person places are expected to be fully allocated.
The Implementation Scrutiny
The primary focus of this session is the promised line-by-line review of the Level Up Scotland Action Plan. During the recent debate at Holyrood, the Minister for Business and Employment, Richard Lochhead MSP, gave a public assurance that he would engage with the plan’s recommendations in detail.
We have formally invited the Minister to join us on 18 March to begin this process. While we are currently finalising the specific diary arrangements with his office, the session is being prepared as the definitive technical review of our implementation roadmap – including the proposed Chief Games Officer role and the Pilot Investment Fund.
Open Agenda
In addition to the Games Action Plan, the CPG can discuss all issues relevant to the games ecosystem in Scotland. If you have a topic you’d like covered, or a question for any of the stakeholders responsible for games in Scotland, please submit it here. The agenda will be published the week before the CPG meets.
A Roadmap Built on Evidence
This session is not a call for further discussion, but a move toward institutional delivery. While other voices have recently suggested a new task-and-finish review of the sector, the Scottish Games Network remains firm: that work has already been completed.
The Action Plan is the result of years of rigorous, audited evidence. It is the direct implementation of the 2022 Scotland’s Games Ecosystem study by the business schools at the University of Glasgow and the University of Stirling, combined with our own 18-month consultation involving 22 technical workshops with over 300 stakeholders.
The review phase is now complete. This was an extensive, expert-led undertaking that engaged hundreds of stakeholders from every corner of the ecosystem to ensure the final blueprint is unassailable. We have the data, we have the community consensus, and we have the roadmap ready for the Minister to examine.
Securing Your Attendance
The in-person capacity for this session is extremely tight. If you are a studio founder, a researcher, or a key stakeholder in Scotland’s games economy who wishes to be present for this review, we encourage you to register immediately.
The “secret weapon” is out of the shadows. On 18 March, we show the Government that the industry is ready to transition from strategic vision to national delivery.
Register to attend Scotland’s Games Cross-Party Group here (in-person and online tickets available).

Industry Alignment: IES’s First Scottish Manifesto Validates Action Plan Priorities
IES Manifesto Launch: The conversation around the future of the Scottish games sector has reached a new level of agreement and consensus.
Following the historic debate in the Scottish Parliament and the Business & Employment Minister’s commitment to a “line-by-line” review of our Level Up: Scotland’s Games Action Plan, we are pleased to see Interactive Entertainment Scotland (IES) Ukie’s Scotland organisation publish their manifesto for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.
Strategic Alignment
It is encouraging to see that the core pillars of our community-led Games Action Plan – which was forged through 18 months of intensive consultation – are now being echoed by the UK’s games trade body. The IES Manifesto’s focus on targeted pilot funding, strengthening institutional knowledge within government, and a national data strategy directly aligns with the Games Action Plan and provides a unified mandate for Scotland’s future.
From Campaigning to Delivery
While the IES Manifesto looks toward the next Scottish Government in 2026, Level Up: Scotland’s Games Action Plan is designed for the here and now.
“We welcome this validation from our colleagues at Ukie,” says Brian Baglow, Director of the Scottish Games Network. “It proves that our community-driven approach has correctly identified the pressure points in our ecosystem. While IES is rightly setting out the long-term vision for the next parliament, we are currently working with the current Parliament to deliver the Chief Games Officer and the Pilot Fund today. As well as education stakeholders to build a national games skills forum.”
The “Golden Thread” Advantage
One area where Scotland continues to lead is in our “More Than Games” vision. While the national manifesto focuses on the games industry in isolation, the Games Action Plan – backed by endorsements from Scotland’s existing innovation centres, including The Data Lab and the Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre – treats games technology as the “Golden Thread” running through the entire digital economy.
Cross-Party Group & Ministerial Review
We’re now working with CPG co-chairs, Clare Adamson MSP and Michael Marra MSP, to identify and confirm a date for a meeting of the games CPG. Once confirmed, we will, of course, be inviting Richard Lochhead MSP for the promised Ministerial review. At the meeting, we will be presenting a plan that is not just supported by the Scottish games community, ecosystem, and the media, but also underpins the manifesto of the UK’s games industry trade body.
The call to action is clear. The games ecosystem is speaking with one voice. It is time to deliver the UK’s first Games Supercluster.

WATCH: Momentum Builds at Holyrood for Scotland’s Games Future
Level Up: If you missed the live stream of the Scottish Parliament yesterday, you missed a significant turning point in the ongoing evolution of our industry – with a ministerial commitment to review the action plan “line-by-line” at a future meeting of the cross-party group for Scotland’s games ecosystem.
Building on the foundations laid by Clare Adamson’s 2023 motion, last night’s debate represented a massive step forward in strategic coherence. We saw MSPs from across the chamber champion the Level Up Scotland Action Plan, citing our £151,382 GVA per head and calling for a dedicated Games Supercluster.
A Chamber in Consensus
The debate was led by a powerful opening from Michael Marra MSP, who laid out the undeniable economic and cultural case for the plan. We also heard vital contributions from Clare Adamson MSP, Daniel Johnston MSP, Liam Kerr MSP, Foysol Choudhury MSP and a response from Business Minister Richard Lochhead MSP.
From the “Golden Thread” of games technology to the need for a Chief Games Officer, the Parliament spoke with a level of detail and passion that proves the games sector is now a national priority.
Watch the Highlights
The full video of the debate is now available. We encourage everyone – from studio founders to students – to watch. Hear the consensus for yourself:
WATCH: Members’ Business Debate on the Scottish Games Action Plan
Your Voice is Needed.
While the Parliament has spoken with a unified voice, and the mainstream press has put us on the front pages, we need to continue showing the sector is united behind this plan.
We cannot allow this momentum to be met with silence.
The Minister, Richard Lochhead, has committed to a “line-by-line” review of the Action Plan at the next Cross-Party Group meeting. This is our window of opportunity. We need to show the Scottish Government that it isn’t just a few of us asking for change – it is the entire community.
Level Up: Join the Wall of Support
If you believe in the vision of a £1 Billion games ecosystem, we need you to go on the record today. It takes 30 seconds, but its impact in the halls of power is massive.
Visit the Scottish Games Network website and deave a comment underneath the Games Action Plan documents here.
- Studio Heads: Tell the government why you need better scale-up support.
- Developers: Tell them why you want to build your career in a Scottish Supercluster.
- Students: Tell them why you need a support to help you develop and publish new IP.
- Everyone else: Help the government understand games are far more than the huge consumer market. Games can and will impact your sector, from education to healthcare, from film to fintech.
The Scottish Parliament has opened the door. Now, we as a community must ensure the Government walks through it.
Let’s make our presence undeniable. Let’s make our sector famous.
