Tencent Visits Vancouver

Tencent visited Vancouver at the beginning of July.

In conjunction with the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology (JTT) and Creative BC, DigiBC hosted Mr. Chen Fafen, Senior Advisor, Cultural Industries Bureau, Tencent Holdings in Vancouver on July 6/7. Mr. Chen held one to one meetings with selected video games, animation, and visual effects studios and toured Double Negative, Archiact, and Electronic Arts. DigiBC Chair, Jon Lutz, took Mr. Chen on a tour of EA which included seeing the motion capture studio and meeting the team making FIFA Online Mobile for China. Huge thanks to everyone who participated and helped coordinate his two-day visit. We have since received feedback that Mr. Chen enjoyed his time here and was thoroughly impressed with the information we shared.  Well done all!
