Federal Research Minister Dorothee Bär will Give Opening Adress at Gamescom
In addition to Federal Minister Dorothee Bär, Hendrik Wüst, Minister President of North Rhine-Westphalia, has also confirmed his participation in the political opening of gamescom. Both will also take part in the tour of the exhibition.
When Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz appointed Dorothee Bär as Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space and therefore responsible for the games policies of the actual government, many in the industry considered it a certainty that the CSU politician would also visit gamescom. After all, Bär has been a regular guest in Cologne in the past. And now it's official: as announced by the organisers of game and Koelnmesse, Dorothee Bär will attend the official opening ceremony of gamescom 2025 on 20 August.
