Digital Domain, one of the most innovative studios for visual effects and immersive experiences, today announced the addition of Montréal, Québec as the newest Digital Domain location. The Montréal studio joins eight existing Digital Domain locations including Los Angeles, Vancouver, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Taipei and Hyderabad. 2018 marks 25 years for the global studio.
With this new Center of Innovation, Varian expects to triple the size of the Montréal team this year alone and is targeting continued growth over the next three years.
The Montreal office will employ 200 individuals, most of whom will be technology professionals working on Behavox’s industry-leading enterprise data analytics platform, currently used by some of the world’s largest banks, broker-dealers and hedge funds.
This activity, which drew over 500 participants to Montréal, identified concrete ways to boost the city’s connectivity to the rest of the world, with the double aim of attracting foreign capital and expanding the global reach of Québec companies.
Ten years later, 1,300 people are now working at the company’s Montréal offices, including many world-class developers, engineers and architects. The Montréal Technology and Engineering Centre has experienced steady growth since it first opened its doors in 2008.
Many entrepreneurs looking to set up operations in North America choose Québec. Frédéric Picard, President of Picard Technologies, is a case in point. This is his story.
