Why do premier developers/publishers such as Capcom and Tecmo Koei have their North American production centres in Ontario? Why did gaming giant Ubisoft recently open a facility here as well?

For the same reasons brilliant home-grown companies like Artech Studios, Magmic, Silicon Knights and Digital Extremes are thriving here.

We offer gaming companies access to some of the most creative minds in the world and the latest in technology to help them push the envelope.

We also deliver the lowest business costs of any major gaming jurisdiction, an enviable quality of life that top talent demands and as a multicultural society, we do business in pretty well every language – another advantage when you're creating games for the global market.

The government also supports the industry through generous R&D tax credits and programs aimed specifically at cutting costs for gaming companies.
