The Ontario government is giving the local digital entertainment industry a boost by offering more tax incentives designed to encourage companies to use more local talent.
“There are some exciting developments coming down the pipes as we head towards 2010,” said Jennifer Blitz, director for tax credits and financing programs for the Ontario Media Development Corporation (OMDC), at the recently concluded GameOn – Finance 2009, a forum for the interactive game industry held in Toronto. The OMDC is an agency of the Ontario Ministry of Culture.
