Havit
A global brand of computer components and peripherals with full vertical integration, from its own developments and designs to mass production and global marketing.
Havit (full name – Guangzhou Havit Technology Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1998 in Guangzhou, China. The company began its journey as a manufacturer of floppy disks and other peripherals for third-party brands. Accumulating expertise in production, the company gradually expanded its assortment: after the internet boom, Havit, under the leadership of founder Li Wanping (Ms. Lee), began designing and releasing its own keyboards and mice and then moved to other advanced gaming devices (RGB speakers, gaming chairs, etc.). By the early 2000s, the Havit factory was built (in 2001) and established a complete production cycle – from development to assembly. This experience of OEM production for other brands laid the foundation for strict quality control and technical expertise of Havit.
Realizing the importance of its own brand, Havit registered the brand “HAVIT” in China in 2003, and internationally in 2010 (through WIPO). Around 2007, the company began aggressively marketing its products under the HAVIT brand, building a complete business model “from production to consumer.” With financial and production resources, Havit quickly launched more than 200 models of products under its own brand. By 2012, the Havit factory had attained high-tech enterprise status with its own development team (modern software and equipment development processes were being implemented).
With China joining the WTO (2001), Havit actively entered international markets, participating in overseas exhibitions (such as IFA in Berlin, CES in the USA) and building a client network worldwide. By 2008–2010, the HAVIT brand gained recognition in the domestic Chinese market, and the company laid the groundwork for expansion abroad. In 2013–2014, Havit launched online sales on global platforms – opening branded stores on Amazon, Tmall, and JD. By 2016, the brand's reach extended to most regions of the world.
GamersBase
GamersBase is not just an online store but a hub for all gamers, from newcomers to veterans who still remember how to install DOOM from floppy disks.
In the catalogs of GamersBase, every gamer will find something to their taste among thousands of games, including keys that can be activated in the most popular regions of Steam among the domestic audience. And at Igroprom, they will raffle off something from their assortment.

KB.Games + Smola Game Studio
The channel KB.Games has teamed up with the team of Smola Game Studio (also known as theBratans), who developed the meme series "Russians vs. Lizards". At the joint booth, you can not only play Russians vs. Lizards 2 but also talk to the developers, get a souvenir (if you're lucky), and undertake one of the main quests at Igroprom.
The Moscow "Rot Front" factory feeds its legendary bars to visitors of many exhibitions recently. Igroprom will be no exception.
As usual, there will be classic bars with the taste of peanut praline with cocoa and crispy wafer crumbs. Also, "Rot Front protein bars" have a high protein content, nut-cream mass with cocoa, crispy rice and the taste of delicate cheesecake — an excellent combination to recharge during a full day at the exhibition.
Fogame
Although the platform Fogame primarily offers Russian players localized versions of well-known MMOs, its presence in the retro zone of Igroprom is quite justified. Among the projects you can play at the venue are the popular shooter Point Blank, released back in 2009, and the 2012 MMO Blade and Soul. By the way, the reboot of the latter, Blade and Soul NEO will also be represented at the booth.
Visitors will be able to take pictures with the charming Fox School heiress Julia, preregister for Blade and Soul NEO, and get a chance to win exclusive merchandise: cards, keychains, stickers, or even dakimakura with characters.
Gruzovichkof
The "Gruzovichkof" service is one of the leading freight carriers in Russia and the CIS countries and a recognized leader in the field of transport and logistics services in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
This service is being used by the organizers of "Igroprom" this year to deliver everything necessary for the festival.
The list and descriptions of the "Igroprom" partners will be updated as more information becomes available.
