Nice C\u00f4te d’Azur: A Strategic Hub for CCIs in Europe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice and the C\u00f4te d’Azur are solidifying their position as a major player in CCIs in France and Europe, particularly in cinema, audiovisual media, and gaming. In 2023, the region saw remarkable growth in film production, with 551 projects and 1,604 shooting days, marking a 6% increase over 2022.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Nice alone hosted nearly 600 shooting days <\/a>on public grounds, an impressive 82% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Victorine Studios, a landmark of C\u00f4te d’Azur cinema, play a central role in this ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 1, 2024, Victorine Studios, a partnership between the Nice C\u00f4te d’Azur Chamber of Commerce and the visual effects and post-production company Color,<\/a> officially took over site management, with \u20ac37 million earmarked for the site’s renovation and modernization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ambitious project will transform the studios into a cutting-edge complex with film sets, business offices, and a training campus, positioning Nice as an international center for audiovisual production and innovation in the CCI sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Universit\u00e9 C\u00f4te d’Azur<\/a> is also a key player in CCI education, offering strategic partnerships and unique programs in France to support this sector through education and innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice: A New Hub for Gaming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The video game sector is experiencing rapid growth on the C\u00f4te d’Azur, driven in part by the arrival of ISART Digital in 2023<\/a>. The school addresses the industry’s high demand for skilled managers in marketing, monetization, and digital technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus welcomed its first students in 2023 and will be expanded by 2026 into an eco-campus, featuring a business incubator and student housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Nice will host the EVO competition<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest fighting game tournament. This international event will further establish Nice as a premier destination for gaming professionals and will attract thousands of visitors, highlighting the depth of the local gaming ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
