Call for participation for MUTEK Mexico

For 20 years now, MUTEK has been fostering connections between Montreal and Mexico, as well as between Quebec, Mexico, and Latin America. The anniversary edition will take place from October 7 to 20, 2024, with a professional Quebec delegation traveling from October 16 to 19 for the professional segment of this mission.

Year after year, MUTEK MX has renewed its commitment to developing avant-garde and bold programming, contributing to positioning Mexico City as a platform for exchanging new trends in digital creativity and technology, both locally and internationally. For Quebec creators, the event provides a privileged landing point in Latin America while connecting them to global artistic currents.

MUTEK Montreal, in collaboration with Effet Québec - Pole of Export Expertise, an initiative of Xn Québec, the Ministry of Culture and Communications, SODEC, and the Quebec General Delegation in Mexico, is organizing a Quebec delegation of producers, studio creators, broadcasters, distributors, and cultural venues of digital creativity to participate in this anniversary edition of MUTEK MX. Come and get inspired, expand your professional network in this part of the world, and take advantage of this opportunity to showcase your projects and expertise.

In addition to the activities planned as part of the festival, four days of meetings, exchanges, pitches, personalized B2B sessions, and visits will take place to generate connections with the local creative ecosystem and with international professionals participating in the event.

Last May, Effet Québec launched its latest study on the potential of interactive installations across various global markets, including Mexico, and it reveals, among other things, that business opportunities lie in agencies and brands, festivals, and tourist complexes. Therefore, this mission is a great opportunity to position oneself well in this promising market.
