The Digi & Game Center (DGC) is a business ecosystem comprising 29 office spaces and facilities located in the heart of Jyväskylä, on the second floor of Matarankatu 2. To see more information about our office spaces, check the following page.
Effective business development is a team sport!
The center has been created to bring together companies and act as a melting pot and a catalyst for digital services, products, and innovation.
The DGC features services supporting the entrepreneur such as a recording/greenscreen podcast studio, a presentation stage (which can also be used for streaming), co-working hot desks, training and private lecture rooms, and even a Sauna and party venue!
As a community, it acts as a social hub used to host ‘out of hours’ events and clubs by its patrons and official events run by EXPA.
A lot of the official EXPA events are free to attend and do not require registration. Check out our events page.
The DGC is home to the IGDA Jyväskylä
The centre’s operation is run by Peliosuuskunta EXPA which has a governing committee of 10.
Each member oversees a specific department.
You can contact a member by email: firstname.lastname@expa.fi
A detailed list of EXPA’s objectives, outside services and a list of board members can be found HERE.
