The government of Ontario today announced that they will be investing $605,000 into the Interactive Ontario program. This will help the OntheEdge, GamesID and Ontario Video Game and Digital Media Investor Network programs, all designed to help foster and support game developers in the region.
“We are proud to support Interactive Ontario in delivering these important programs," said Sandra Pupatello, Minister of Economic Development and Trade. "Ontario’s digital media sector is growing quickly, and shows even greater growth potential. As a government, we are committed to working with the industry to generate investment and create high-value jobs for Ontarians.”
“These programs will provide Ontario video game companies with the support they need to reach their business goals," said Ian Kelso, President and CEO of Interactive Ontario. "As is evident at GameON:Finance, the province’s video game industry is amazingly vibrant and growing. With the convergence of highly creative companies, world-class schools, top-tier talent, and the continued support of the Government of Ontario, this province has very quickly become one of the fastest growing in the games industry.”
