Creative industries

Creative industries are a powerful force, shaping our cultural identity. They can be divided into six categories:

• audiovisual
• music
• written and published works
• performing arts
• visual and applied arts
• heritage and museums

Through collaborative initiatives such as the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Creative Export Strategy, we are committed to helping you take your creativity beyond borders.

We have a strong network of Trade Commissioners covering the creative industries sector including dedicated positions in key markets such as the United States, one of our biggest export markets.

Other priority markets for TCS support in the creative industries sector include:

• United Kingdom 
• France
• Mexico
• Germany
• China
• India

Every year, we support Canadian businesses at premier creative industries events. These opportunities allow you to showcase your strengths and expertise.

The following events are part of our annual calendar:
