Video Games Hubs
Charleroi - Namur - Liège
Follow the E42, and you'll find us! WALGA is strengthening its presence in the field, and now has three locations, premises, hubs, workspaces... WALGA Gaming Hubs !
Whether you're based in Liège, Namur or Charleroi, we can now welcome you to our local hubs. Each of them is made up of :
- a workspace for studios and freelancers wishing to develop their video games;
- a dedicated streaming area, where content creators can launch Twitch sessions (Charleroi only);
- a dedicated E-sport area to launch competitions, organize training courses, etc.
These spaces, accessible to video game developers (alone or in teams!), E-Sport players and streamers alike, coincide with our desire to develop synergies across the Walloon video game ecosystem.
The icing on the cake is that the workspaces are available free of charge to our members (under certain conditions)! If you would like to become a member and benefit from these areas, please complete the following form:
Now it's your turn!
The call for applications is open to any person or studio wishing to start up or looking for a workspace in the video game sector. Interested? Please complete the form below. We will process your application as soon as possible.
Charleroi
It's within the walls of Quai10, the city's emblematic venue, combining cinema, video games area and brasserie, that we've been based since the beginning of July 2023. With Technocité as our upstairs neighbor, offering a wide range of training courses, and the MEET & BUILD event blowing out its 8 candles last October, it seemed essential to take over the premises. In short, we couldn't have wished for a better venue!

Namur
The WALGA video game center in Namur is located in Jambes at the foot of the E411 motorway, close to the Brico. With 300 m² of floor space in a 3-storey tower, the premises offer three private offices for 4 to 6 people, an open space with 8 workstations, and a meeting room, accessible to all our members by reservation. A 70 m² space dedicated to E-Sports will be opening soon, with 24/7 access and the possibility of organizing 48-hour bootcamps thanks to the presence of a shower on the premises.

Liège
To develop our business in Liège, we invested in the B3, which offers us a space with not only the premises and infrastructure adapted to our needs, but also numerous synergies with other activities and the presence of occupants such as Espace Digital, the gaming space and the business incubator. By occupying these premises, we can now support the local scene, including Liège Game Lab, our member associations and, of course, the region's development studios.

Micromobility
3 companies offer scooter and electric bike rental in Liège: DOTT, PONY and TIER.
By bike
Accessibility by bicycle is also very easy, and the building will soon feature a dedicated covered and secure parking lot.
By car
The Bavière district is mainly reserved for residents' parking, so use soft modes to get around.
If you decide to travel by car: the new "Place des Arts" is not yet shown on all maps, so for ease of use you can search for "Bavaria Liège" in your GPS.
