Where creativity, technology and experiential design converge

What makes Québec truly special is the close convergence between video games, digital arts, design, visual effects and immersive technologies. Few places in the world combine these disciplines with such a high level of maturity and collaboration.

This gives rise to hybrid experiences that are simultaneously digital, physical and interactive, deployed in a variety of contexts: public spaces, cultural institutions, tourist attractions, events and brand activation. Québec suppliers thus export know-how that goes beyond digital content to create truly immersive experiences.

Leading the world in video games

Québec has become a major force among the world’s leading video game development hubs. Québec suppliers help create internationally recognized games across all platforms, from consoles and PCs to mobile devices and online environments.

This leadership is built on a high concentration of experienced talent, including numerous studios founded by professionals who have contributed to major international productions. This maturity lets Québec partners effectively plug into global-scale projects, as either lead studios or specialized suppliers.

A proven ability to deliver complex projects internationally

Québec suppliers have proven they can deliver complex projects on an international scale, combining creativity, technology and integration. They act as lead studios or specialized partners, from design to implementation, on projects for various markets.

They draw on a network of complementary suppliers—bringing diverse expertise in creative work, visual effects, immersive technologies, specialized software and integration—facilitating the deployment of turnkey projects or integration into existing production pipelines.
