New production companies are emerging in India and China. Research institutions are growing throughout the region. In Korea and Singapore, digital media development is a national priority.
The government of Singapore is investing S$ 500 million in a five-year plan to create a regional powerhouse in digital media, and its Media Development Authority plans to create 10,000 new jobs and add S$ 10 billion to the nation's GDP by 2015.
