SCORE is a project aiming to create more innovation and growth in the Swedish games industry, and create more equal opportunities for game entrepreneurs no matter where in Sweden they are based. To do so, the project will develop a national digital game incubation process, and a prototype for a national game accelerator program. It will also work to increase investments in games. The three year project started in 2025 and is run by five regional game clusters, of which Game Habitat is one.
