Toronto to be the home of new gaming incubator

Toronto's George Brown College announced today that the college will be increasing its commitment to the digital media sector with its gaming development and design programs in a new learning environment at 333 King Street East.

The facility will also feature an industry incubator to bring together video gaming and digital media startups in Toronto with George Brown College students.

Scheduled to open in September 2011, the incubator will provide 10 offices, between 100 and 150 square feet, for startups and small companies looking for a platform to grow their business in the heart of the city. By including industry innovators alongside students, the college hopes to create an environment that helps its learners experience real-world engagement to better prepare them for future employment and help emerging companies leverage the student resources to help them grow.
