Economie innovante, le Canada est également riche de technologies intensives en R&D. De nombreux domaines tels que l’aérospatial, les biotechnologies, les télécommunications et l’animation numérique attirent de plus en plus de talents internationaux. Le pays est en outre considéré comme l’un des meilleurs au monde 3 en ce qui concerne la facilité de faire des affaires. P Nos exportateurs manifestent un intérêt croissant pour l’Ouest du pays. A l’instar RÉFACE des studios cinématographiques de Vancouver -baptisée l’Hollywood du Nord- et des sables bitumeux, les provinces de l’Alberta et de la Colombie-Britannique sont en pleine expansion, considérées par les experts comme les locomotives économiques du Canada de demain. Faisant étape à Vancouver puis à Calgary, la mission économique conjointe se concentrera sur l’Ouest canadien. Au vu de l’entrée en vigueur prochaine de l’AECG (ou CETA), accord global ambitieux signé entre l’Union européenne et le Canada, le calendrier apparaît idéal pour encourager la dynamique commerciale entre nos deux pays. C’est dans ce contexte que l’Agence pour le Commerce extérieur, en collaboration avec ses partenaires régionaux, l’Agence wallonne à l’Exportation et aux Investissements étrangers, Bruxelles Invest & Export et Flanders Investment & Trade, organise cette mission.

    11. Vancouver as media cluster: The cases of video games and fi lm/TV Trevor Barnes and Neil M. Coe If ever Joseph Schumpeter’s (1942) notion of ‘a gale of creative destruction’ has applicability it is to Vancouver, British Columbia. Over the course of the last 25 years, immensely powerful gusts of economic change, cyclonic in their energy, have destroyed Vancouver’s old urban economy based on processing natural resources like lumber and fi sh. In their place, a ‘new economy’ has been erected resting on creative, weightless industries like those in the new media. Consequently, the old inner city where resource activities happened, and where resource- processing workers lived, has been torn up and remade. Even some of Vancouver’s suburbs, particularly the oldest, Burnaby, lying directly to the east of the city, have experienced a radical makeover as former light industrial and warehouse spaces were reconstructed as movie studios and ‘dream factories’ for the manufacture of video games. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the gale of crea- tive destruction that has touched down in Vancouver, transforming the city into, among other things, a media cluster. In particular, we focus on two of the city’s media industries, both of which generate over a billion Canadian dollars in revenue each year: video games and fi lm and TV production. The chapter is divided into fi ve substantive sections followed by a brief conclusion. First, we outline the recent historical transformation of Vancouver from a staples- producing local metropole to a world city that is now one of the termini on the global media industry’s international circuit of labour, capital and ideas.
