A Tyneside games design studio is diversifying into new markets after securing a five-figure investment.
Gateshead’s Infinity27 was set up three years ago as a design studio providing games, immersive VR and AR and real-time 3D solutions to clients across the UK. Based at the Proto centre in Gateshead, the company has adapted to create Skills Bootcamps, funded by the Department for Education, which combine live project work with on-the-job professional work.
The sessions aim to help people gain the skills they need for high-skilled, high-paid jobs in the games and immersive tech sector. Infinity27 is now using £25,000 from the North East Small Loan Fund, obtained through regional fund management firm NEL Fund Managers, to expand its capacity to deliver more Skills Bootcamps and win new business outside its home region.
