Principal results: almost 43.4% of companies have already been involved with sponsorship schemes in the last few years – only 20.9% knew the difference between mécénat and sponsoring – donations were made mainly in the sports, social, cultural and heritage sectors. In 86% of cases, the businesses concerned were large companies, but almost 1/3 of micro-businesses and very small companies had had some involvement too. In terms of donations, 41.7% ranged from €1 to € 1,000. 100% satisfaction for the companies involved in sponsorship! Financial support is the preferred method of sponsorship, followed by support in kind and skills donation. Did you know? Sponsorship is not only for big businesses, it is also for very small companies, small and medium-sized businesses, crafts and skilled labour, retailers, etc. To find out more: Daniel Baudouïn, Metz Métropole Advisor on sponsorship matters: daniel.baudouin@metzmetropole.fr Aurélie REDER, Metz Métropole Head of sponsorship: areder@metzmetropole.fr/ 03 87 20 10 05 NICE PINGOUINS AT THE 3rd Game Jam 5 and 6 September 2015 saw the 3rd "Game Jam", a flagship event in the Greater Region video-game creators' community taking place simultaneously across 3 locations: TCRM-Blida in Metz, Technoport in Esch-sur-Alzette and Werk 1 in Munich.
