Game Plan
In order to fully exploit this global opportunity for Prince Edward Island, Technology PEI launched GamePlan in 2003. GamePlan is a co-ordinated strategy for the development and growth of the video game industry in Prince Edward Island. At the time of its launch, TechPEI believed the game industry represented a significant opportunity for both regional differentiation and overall growth and expansion of the technology industry in Prince Edward Island. TechPEI launched GamePlan with several primary objectives:
Prince Edward Island is now home to over 60 people working directly in video game development and the Island's game companies are collectively experiencing significant growth. Technology PEI is working towards the creation of 500 new jobs in the game sector within 5 years."
