A hub for training and research

In addition to its role as a business incubator, EuraCreative is also a training and research hub. In partnership with universities, schools and research centres, the cluster offers specialised training programmes in the fields of cinema, 3D animation, special effects and design, helping to train the next generation of experts in all sectors of the creative industries.

Some of the biggest names in training are already here or will be joining soon: ArtFx has opened its campus on more than 16,000m², accommodating nearly 1,000 students. Piktura (formerly Pôle 3D) has also decided to relocate its site to Plaine images. Now it’s Rubika’ s turn to strengthen the site with the imminent arrival of a training centre dedicated to design.

Concrete achievements

Over the years, EuraCreative has seen many successful projects emerge. Whether in video games, virtual reality, animation, film, advertising or e-commerce, the companies and start-ups incubated within the cluster have stood out for their creativity, expertise and capacity for innovation.

One of the site’s driving forces is Ankama, a leader in digital creation and video games. The company is responsible for Dofus, an online game that has enjoyed worldwide success (85 million accounts created worldwide), as well as a whole series of other games for PC, consoles and mobiles. Complementing Ankama, Lylo Media Group, a giant in dubbing, subtitling and audio-description, has also set up its studios at Plaine Images.

The metropolitan nugget, which will be acquired by the American company Transperfect in 2019, works for TV, film and video games, transferring cartoons and series from one language to another.

Another nugget based at EuraCreative is the guided meditation app Petit Bambou, which has more than 4.7 million users.
