This joint investment aims to stimulate innovation in several key sectors, including cinema, animation, video games, and special effects. By joining forces, Paris and Seoul hope to foster the co-production of cultural content and encourage exchanges between professionals from both nations.
The project also plans to support innovative companies and facilitate talent training. The objective is to make French and South Korean creative industries more competitive on the global market, while promoting the international distribution of their works.
