Our Mission

Animation Germany is the information and marketing organisation of the German animation and VFX production industry abroad. From September 2020 it is part of German Films in order to gain visibility and do justice to the ever-increasing importance of the Animation and VFX sectors in Germany. Companies and the strengths of the sector in Germany should have an active representation in the international business environment and an attractive platform for supporting economic development. The goal of the industry is to facilitate more co-productions and service contracts for animation and VFX with international partners and to attract contracts to Germany. High-budget animated films and series that are also being to meet the growing demand from the streaming platforms should be produced with German participation - Animation Germany is the industry's partner on this path.

Inform

Animation Germany prepares relevant data and content for international business partners, provides information about the economic facts of the industry, and produces material about the companies and their diverse programmes.
