Description:Presenting my white paper on a study where I did a scenario putting together a small team of 10 people in game development to implement a new studio "somewhere" by analyzing the median salaries for these positions in the selected cities, the social benefits to be paid in this jurisdiction and the effects of Tax incentives like IDM and R&D Tax Credits in 15 cities I can suggest the best "cost wise" location for this studio. Cities included in the study are Austin, Barcelona, Berlin, Birmingham, Dublin, Halifax, London' Munich, New York, Paris, San Fransisco, Toronto, Vancouver and Warsaw. Intended audience: CEO, CFO, Studio Head, Entrepreneurs, Startups, HR responsible for hiring, Producers. Key takeaways: With the new trend of working remote/hybrid there is many jurisdiction that offers very lucrative government incentives through Grants and Tax Credits for labor. In this lecture you can learn where it would be more cost effective to run an small studio with 10 individuals. The study does not take into account other considerations like: Cost of Living, Other Operating costs, Pool of Talents, University and College Programs, Existing ecosystem, etc...
