“Platforms like the 30 Under 30 play an important role in fostering an inclusive and progressive industry. With the rapid pace of evolution in gaming, the sector thrives on the adaptability and creativity that emerging talent brings. Recognising individuals not only builds a strong pipeline of future leaders but also provides a valuable opportunity to celebrate the contributions of industry peers.”

SIMRAN WHITHAM, CEO, FORMAT


“The 30 under 30 not only feels like a great personal achievement, but also gives people the opportunity to connect with some wonderfully talented individuals in the games industry. For me, it also gave the old imposter syndrome a knock on the head!”


“The 30 Under 30 is a great way to highlight the accomplishments of the next generation of the games industry in the UK. It was an honour for me to be named one of MCV’s 30 Under 30, and I can’t thank the team enough for the work they do in recognising the efforts of UK talent.”

“It’s so easy to get caught up in the work and never get to step away and look at the bigger picture. Standing on the 30 Under 30 stage with very accomplished peers, I really felt that what we do has an impact!”


“The MCV/DEVELOP 30 Under 30 has been a wonderful opportunity to meet the young, bright talents that the UK industry has to offer! The recent climate of the industry has been discouraging, so the nominations and then recognition by my peers, especially as a marginalised individual, has been a very validating and cathartic feeling.”


HILARY LOK, Co-Founder,

“There is so much talent across this industry, and it’s easy to forget what amazing work we’re all doing when we’re holed up in our own studios! The 30 Under 30 is such an amazing way to get to know what others are up to, and remember that we’re all doing great things!”
