CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

ACTION! CREATION! 

Over the past several years, the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI) sector has become a key economic pillar in the Montpellier Métropole area. In particular, the fields of moving images, including video games, animation, VFX, audiovisual, cinema, and immersive experiences, as well as sound and audio, have undergone significant growth and now occupy a prominent place in the local CCI landscape.

Montpellier Métropole is committed to supporting development in the industry, implementing a broad strategy that focuses specifically on encouraging innovation, facilitating access to funding, raising exposure for the sector, and providing workspaces tailored to the needs of artists and creative professionals. One example is the “Cité Créative” (Creative City), a multi-purpose district where CCI companies can find real estate solutions adapted to every stage of their development.

Our strong commitment to the industry continues to produce tangible results, as demonstrated by the significant number of top-tier players who have settled in the area, the accreditation of major projects as part of the France 2030 plan, and the growing number of innovative initiatives launched to raise the industry’s profile. All these factors help make Montpellier a leading economic, cultural and artistic hub for the moving image sector, recognized both nationally and internationally.
