About GameLab
A lab for ideas that go further.
GameLab connects games education, practice and research. A place for knowledge, experimentation and collaboration.
Space for games and talent.
GameLab was founded to deepen games education, retain knowledge and build partnerships with research, government and industry.
Based at the Dutch Innovation Factory in Zoetermeer, we work with students on indie games, applied games, simulations and new interactive applications.
The lab complements the games education within the HBO-ICT programme at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. We also collaborate with other programmes and the innovation labs in the Dutch Innovation Factory.
