television and media Pavilion P1.B10 DI RECT ORY OF EX H I BI T OR S mipcom 2015 Monique Simard Over the course of our 20-year history, the SODEC’s dedication to staying up-to-date and relevant has allowed us to be a part of the success of many Québec productions. Our repeated presence at mipcom is proof not only of our desire to see business opportunities realized but also of our ongoing commitment to a shift towards digital productions and multi-screen content distribution. Québec’s audiovisual production market is booming and is truly a force to be reckoned with. In 2014, Canada’s production grew by 2.9%, for a total of $2.67 billion. This result can be largely attributed to Québec’s industry, representing 33% of that growth, for a total value of $876 million. These numbers speak for themselves and can certainly attest to the industry’s strength and vigour. The Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) is proud to be a part of mipcom for a 4th year, as we work to help Québec productions reach further and further beyond our province’s borders. mipcom is an essential event for any audiovisual producer looking to reach the global market and, through Espace Québec, the Québec businesses present will have the chance to do just that: showcase their expertise to the world and promote their productions. 2 This market could not be as successful as it is without the support of the Association québécoise de la production médiatique (AQPM). By joining forces with the SODEC, we can give access to such a precious moment to many Québec audiovisual producers. For that, we thank you, AQPM. I would also like to thank the Fonds Capital Culture Québec – Fonds d’investissement de la culture et des communications, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton, the National Bank of Canada, Télé-Québec and Cirque du Soleil for their invaluable support in helping us bring this large-scale event to life. I wish us all a great mipcom. May this year’s event give you, Québec audiovisual content producers, the chance to spread your wings even further! Monique Simard President and CEO Société de développement des entreprises culturelles (SODEC) mipcom - 2015 Directory of exhibitors Jean Bureau Our partnership with SODEC, at Espace Québec, is part of AQPM’s efforts to encourage and support our members’ development of audiovisual content for the international market. Our presence allows for a wider distribution of our cultural products. AQPM is proud to contribute to the success of an industry that promotes our culture, with our television production as a worthwhile ambassador. I wish you all an excellent mipcom, full of great meetings and ideas, and plenty of interesting projects to be brought to life in the near future. Our television production is diverse and successful. Through our creativity, inventiveness and audacity, we have carved out a niche for ourselves. Our unique creative approach gives Québec productions a distinctive and recognizable flavour. Case in point? Out of Canada’s ten most loved productions in 2014, seven of them came from Québec. We continue to stand out, year after year, despite changes turning our industry upside down, viewers consumption habits changing, business models needing redefinition and increasingly fragile funding. In 2014, AQPM’s members produced content for more than 700 million dollars, almost 3 quarters of a billion dollars. AQPM continues to support, represent and accompany Québec producers creating or cocreating for all kinds of screens. Last year, children and youth programming increased by 11.2%, forcing us to continually reinvent ourselves and develop new multiplatform strategies.
