MONTRÉAL, April 12, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - The Society for the Celebration of Montréal's 375th Anniversary has announced the development of a socio-economic initiative that was the outcome of the Board of Governor's Leadership and Innovation working committee. The aim of this wide-scale project is to bring major industry players to work together by creating a hub for digital creativity.

With a goal in mind of strengthening and enhancing Montréal's visibility as a creative and innovative city, the Society for Montréal's 375th united key industry members and associations to understand and identify development possibilities for Montréal talent to develop the project announced today. Working in a spirit of collaboration and cooperation, in stages three times a year over a three-year period, the Montréal industry will be able to come up with common, sustainable solutions. C2 Montréal, the Lune Rouge Creative Hub and HUB Montréal are the three major stakeholders in this newly implemented ecosystem, which is also supported by the Québec Film and Television Council (QFTC), the Guilde des développeurs de jeux vidéo indépendants du Québec, the Alliance Numérique as well as the Ville de Montréal, who will all mobilize their members to increase the project's impact.

Respective roles
This coming May, C2 Montréal will act as an inspirational platform, giving decision-makers from around the world the chance to explore industry ideas, findings and challenges during new Digital Creativity Summit, while the Lune Rouge Creative Hub will, for its part, ensure that solutions retained by the industry throughout the summer are culled and followed up on. Lastly, HUB Montréal, will present the conclusions and concrete solutions put forward by this focus group during its marché des industries créatives in November.

Quotes
"The Board of Governors came up with this initiative to showcase the full potential of our talent and accelerate the development of companies in the field in order to increase economic spin-offs and support Montréal's visibility and leadership in digital creativity around the globe. This new consolidation is in keeping with the recent desire announced by the Service de la culture of the Ville de Montréal to position the city in this sector," said Alain Gignac, General Manager of the Society for the Celebration of Montréal's 375th Anniversary.

"C2 Montréal is often described as an inverted economic mission. We offer a place to meet and exchange ideas and, each year, we strive to push the limits of creativity to get participants out of their comfort zones and explore new avenues to achieve their business objectives. We are, understandably, very pleased able to welcome industry players to brainstorm and work together on our industry's future," said Richard St-Pierre, President, C2 Montréal.

"Working together and pooling talents can have nothing but a positive impact on our industry," said Nadine Gelly, General Manager, Lune Rouge Creative Hub. "By exploring the most promising ideas and turning them into concrete solutions, the entire digital creativity ecosystem benefits from this way of working. The Lune Rouge Creative Hub team is proud to be able to contribute to advancing and creating this hub."

"By drawing from focus groups and taking common action, we will be able to showcase our talent and ideas on the international stage. HUB Montréal will cull the findings of this grouping, whose aim is to help our digital creativity industries shine and accelerate their development. This is completely in line with HUB's way of thinking. We are thrilled to be a part of the demonstration component of this Board of Governors initiative," added Sébastien Nasra, Founder and General Manager, HUB Montréal.
