An innovation-friendly field focusing on the future!
CCIs are a major lever for economic development throughout France (representing about 1.2 million jobs in 2013, according to an Ernst & Young 2016 study). Montpellier has contributed actively to developing this sector for many years.
This momentum in local creativity is particularly visible in film, television, video games, 3D animation, special effects, and design.
CCI companies bring jobs to the Montpellier area, notably with major players such as Ubisoft and France Télévisions, which recently created one of its largest studios in Vendargues (just east of Montpellier) to film its popular daily series “Un si grand soleil”. Many other structures specialized in the audiovisual sector, cinema, animation, and video games are also present in Montpellier.
