Wim Wouters

Wim Wouters - CEO & Creative Director of GriN multimedia. Wim founded GriN in 2002 with one goal in mind: conquering the world with “online 3D games”. Anno 2011, he’s still true to this initial goal, but has also broadened his creative horizon.

Wim’s greatest passion is his strongest asset: An unsatisfiable hunger for new technologies to develop unique, creative applications. “The fact that I refuse to specialize in just one aspect, is probably my biggest asset. Others often choose to focus on only a few technologies, or one of the markets. I don’t… I want it all! My ultimate challenge would be to create something which unites our expertise regarding multi-user gaming, social connectivity, augmented reality, mobile apps, user-generated content, etc… A crossmedia and multimedia experience, where boundaries and boredom simply don’t exist.”

As organiser of the Belgian edition of the Global Game Jam, he believes that bringing together the community, sharing knowledge and experimenting are key to the increasing success of the international sector and vital for the survival and growth of the Belgian game industry.
