Idea Fest: Upgaming's New Internal Initiative to Support Innovative Projects

A fundamental part of Upgaming's culture is encouraging the initiatives and creative thinking of our team members. Built around these core values, Idea Fest is an internal project designed to give employees the opportunity to share their visions and business ideas, with the ultimate goal of supporting the implementation of these ideas into practice.

As part of the competition, participants had one month to transform their ideas into well-developed concepts. The process combined individual and collaborative work, bringing together specialists from different Upgaming departments to work toward a shared goal. This process gave participants the opportunity to work on their ideas in practice while also supporting their professional development.

Initially, more than 50 engaging applications were registered company-wide. Following a detailed evaluation, selected projects were chosen to present directly to the jury, where the authors defended the potential and strategic value of their initiatives.

The primary value of Idea Fest goes beyond simply identifying winners. In addition to a financial reward, the authors of the top 3 projects will receive company backing to integrate their initiatives into Upgaming’s daily processes and products.

The inaugural season of Idea Fest concluded with high team engagement and productive results. Parallel to implementing the selected projects, we are already preparing for the next stage of the initiative.
