The Canadian Film Centre’s Media Lab (CFC Media Lab) and the Cultural Service of the Embassy of France in Canada, in partnership with Forum d’Avignon, today announced “Enterprising Culture,” a major international forum for Franco-Canadian creative and cultural industry start-ups.
With the support of Founding Partner BNP Paribas, the two-day forum will take place in Toronto on September 28 and 29, 2016 in the Corus Atrium at Corus Quay. Enterprising Culture will feature debates, keynote speakers, CFC Media Lab’s IDEABOOST Launch Pad, and networking opportunities for Canadian and French start-ups.
