TORONTO – Interactive Ontario (IO) has issued part two of a report designed to help Canadian companies find opportunities in emerging markets.
International Digital Media Co-Production: A Guide for Canadian Companies II examines co-production with Asia and Latin America, with a specific focus on China, India, Korea, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina. It collects experiences and practical information from Canadian digital media companies that have executed deals in these countries, as well as outlines funding sources, potential partners, events and other key details about each market.
IO is hosting an event in Toronto on July 22 designed to provide a forum for discussion around the report. iLunch 14.4 will feature presentations by representatives of the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service, ProColombia, KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency) and a panel moderated by report author Kelly Lynne Ashton with panelists from Pipeline Studios, Minority Media and XMG Studios.
“Interactive Ontario works closely with partner organizations in other jurisdictions to facilitate trade opportunities,” said IO executive director Christa Dickenson, in the report’s news release. “This report will assist in further establishing export links for Ontario producers.”
The report was commissioned by Interactive Ontario with the support of the Ontario Media Development Corporation, the Canada Media Fund and the Bell Fund.
