This is creative technology. Made in BC.
DigiBC is the creative technology industry association for British Columbia, where the creative tech ecosystem includes over 250 companies and dozens of specialized post-secondary programs. We actively work on behalf of our member organizations, which span the video game/interactive, animation, visual effects, VR/AR, and virtual production subsectors.
The creative tech industry generates over 16,000 high-value jobs in our province. For nearly three decades, DigiBC has been a dedicated advocate for this dynamic sector, promoting its growth through advocacy, policy engagement, growth programs, talent initiatives, events, and member support.
We engage with governments to help grow our sector, partner with educational institutions to develop creative tech curriculum, promote diversity and inclusion within our sector, and facilitate networking and knowledge sharing among our members.
The impact of our work? Economic growth and job creation, talent development and community building within the creative tech sector, and increased awareness of the extraordinary creativity and achievements of BC’s creative tech talent.
