Industry Research: Scale Up
Ontario is the hotbed of innovative video game studios in Canada. They are poised for growth and it is imperative that we provide the business conditions to help them scale up. Therefore, Interactive Ontario (IO) is conducting research to understand the factors contributing to the success of Canadian Video Game scaleups and reviewing how Video Game companies are being supported to scale up in seven peer jurisdictions: the United Kingdom (UK), France, Germany, the European Union (EU), Finland, Sweden and Singapore.
We recognize and greatly appreciate your commitment to the video game and interactive digital media industry in Ontario by supporting the costs of research and the development of this critical resource for industry stakeholders to formulate strong scale up strategies.
