View the presentation [In French]

Information and communication technologies, as well as the digital revolution, have drawn us into a new era. The creative universe has been thrust into another dimension. New forms of artistic expression have emerged, representing a melding of traditional media, such as cinema and music, with what are now known as new media.

Montreal has forged an enviable niche on the international stage with regard to the new economy industry. In order to ensure the sustained growth of new sectors that present a heightened creativity coefficient, for instance the video game industry, it would be indicated to acquire a global development strategy that is based on better cohesion between key players, including, specifically, creators, engineers, and decision-makers, in order to benefit from optimal synergism.

At a time when very few believed in the growth potential of the video game industry in Canada, Rémi remained committed to successfully refocusing A2M's efforts in video console game development. A decade later, and a lot of hard work, Rémi achieved his goals of positioning the company as a world leader in the video game industry. By building strategic business relationships with internationally renowned leaders in this ever-evolving field, Rémi has chartered the course for A2M's future.Currently President of Alliance NumeriQc, Rémi is a recognized authority in the video game industry, often called upon by his peers to share his views and experience at major industry related events.
