Airwallex joins hands with GameGeek: Empowering Vietnam's game development industry

Powering Vietnam’s Next Gaming Revolution

Vietnam’s gaming scene has been on fire in recent years – millions of downloads, new studios springing up across the country, and a growing appetite to take local titles global. But for many Vietnamese game developers, scaling beyond borders remains a major challenge.

That’s why Airwallex has partnered with GameGeek, Vietnam’s hub for game creators and studios, to help power the next phase of growth for the country’s booming gaming industry. Together, they want to unlock opportunities for local developers to expand internationally, access global payments infrastructure, and learn from the best minds in gaming.

Why Vietnam, and Why Now

Vietnam is one of the world’s fastest-growing gaming markets, expected to exceed USD3 billion in value soon. Yet while local developers have talent and creativity in abundance, many still face barriers when it comes to scaling, monetisation, and international exposure.

By joining forces, Airwallex and GameGeek aim to bridge those gaps: combining GameGeek’s local ecosystem with Airwallex’s global reach. The result? A stronger, more connected community that gives Vietnamese studios the tools and knowledge to compete on the world stage.

Building the Future, Together

The partnership focuses on three key areas that will help Vietnamese studios go further, faster:

• Sharing knowledge and insights. Both parties will collaborate on in-depth content and case studies that give creators a behind-the-scenes look at how leading studios succeed globally. In December 2025, both parties will also launch a mobile gaming magazine spotlighting global trends and success stories from Vietnam’s own rising stars.

• Creating spaces to learn and connect. From workshops to networking events, Airwallex and GameGeek are helping founders and teams gain access to new skills and opportunities. The highlight will be Gaming Accelerator 2026, a series of learning and mentorship sessions designed to help developers innovate and connect with global partners.

• Unlocking global growth. With Airwallex’s cross-border payments infrastructure, Vietnamese studios can manage international revenues seamlessly, whether that’s from publishing deals, in-game transactions, or new market expansions.

A Shared Vision for Growth

For Jennifer Vu, CEO of GameGeek, the partnership is about more than collaboration, it’s about community. “These challenges can’t be solved by individual efforts. What the Vietnamese gaming industry needs is a connected ecosystem where developers can share knowledge, resources, and opportunities to grow together.”

Le Nghiep, Senior Manager at Airwallex, shares that vision, “We’re proud to work with GameGeek to elevate Vietnam’s gaming talent. Together, we can help local creators expand globally – not just creatively, but financially too.”

Looking Ahead

As we head into 2026, expect even more workshops, mentorship opportunities, and community events designed to empower Vietnamese game studios.

Because for both parties, the partnership isn’t just about supporting an industry – it’s about helping Vietnam’s gaming talent shine on the global stage.
