As part of MIFA’s new Korea Business Showcase, Gwangju’s Information and Content Agency (GICON) made its first steps at the Annecy Animation Festival this Tuesday, marking a continuous trend of more and more Asian agencies represented at the class A festivals and markets.
Established to support and foster information communication and cultural industries in the Gwangju area, GICON also contributes to strengthening the competitiveness and development of animation studios through dedicated programs fostering local talents, infrastructure support, and access to many services that help reach beyond national markets.
As part of a strong Korean delegation at the MIFA this year, GICON brought five studios from the Gwangju region to the stage, each presenting what could become the next global animation IP, with a Korean twist.
