Vancouver’s Creative Industries form an Ecosystem for Success

Each of Vancouver’s creative industries are prominent clusters in their own right. Together, they are responsible for Vancouver’s immense success as a creative hub for screen-based entertainment.

Vancouver’s high concentration of world-class visual effects and animation, games development and film and television production activity has served to draw tens of thousands of experienced professionals and entrepreneurs to the city. Vancouver has also been recently recognised as a global top five virtual and augmented reality ecosystem (learn more about our 40+ year legacy).

A World-leading VFX & Animation Cluster

From the world’s first CG TV series on ABC to a succession of recent major animated feature films and highly rated television series, Vancouver has established itself as a truly world-leading centre of VFX & animation talent and technology. The industry has a long track record of producing cutting-edge animated content ranging from award-winning shorts to internationally renowned series and feature films.

In Vancouver, over 60 studios make up the VFX and Animation industry, comprising the world’s largest cluster of domestic and foreign-owned studios.
