The game development industry is a growing business. In the 1990s, roughly ten companies were engaged in this business, and more than half of the companies in this field have been established in the past five years. Games that are developed in Sweden, after launch, are released in global markets. Also, most new employees are hired from around the world. Hiring employees of diverse nationalities has specific purposes. Among the factors in companies' continued growth, one can point to the creation of numerous small local and regional groups to nurture top talent in game development and groups that accelerate companies' development, an increase in training and accelerators, a rise in entrepreneurs who start new companies, and the results of investments and achievements obtained in past years.
