ITS Lazio in the talk show Teorema: when passion becomes industry
In the episode of TEOREMA on 02/03/2026 with guests Marzia Campagna and Roberto Semprebene we discussed a rapidly expanding but still little-known sector from a professional point of view: the gaming industry.
In Italy, in 2024, the sector generated almost 2.4 billion euros, with 14 million active gamers.
A figure that confirms that video games are no longer just entertainment, but a true technological, creative and international supply chain, largely made up of professionals under 36.
Behind each title operate highly specialized figures: game designers, programmers, 3D artists, sound designers, virtual reality experts and project managers.
This is a structurally collaborative job, in which technical and soft skills—such as teamwork, problem solving, and communication—are crucial.
The training offered byITS Lazio Digitalfits into this context, offering a Game Developer course focused on programming, 3D modeling, design, and immersive technologies, with specific attention to the development of transversal skills.
The Italian market is growing, but still fragmented: small and medium-sized teams and freelance collaborations prevail.
For this reason, the need for an entrepreneurial approach capable of combining creative passion and economic sustainability emerges strongly.
The final message is clear: gaming represents a concrete opportunity for young people, provided they invest in qualified training, technological updating, and an international vision.
