For a long time, the internationalization of cultural industries was mainly based on the export of content, events or creative know-how. This logic is evolving rapidly today. Museography, immersive experiences, hybrid places, cultural innovation and interactive technologies are now becoming major levers of economic development and attractiveness.
For French companies, a reality is gradually becoming apparent: certain geographic areas are significantly accelerating their investments in these subjects and are actively seeking external expertise. Among them, the United Arab Emirates, India and Mexico show particularly strong dynamics.

🇮🇳 India: a huge market that is still building its models.
India is following a different dynamic, driven by strong growth and rapid changes in uses.
Market development is based in particular on:
- cultural spaces
- digital experiences

The models often favor a logic of partnership and adaptation to local realities.
🇲🇽 Mexico: a dense and vibrant cultural ecosystem.
Mexico has a particularly rich cultural environment where local institutions and initiatives play a major role.
Companies wishing to develop there must integrate:
- significant regional diversity

This now implies:
- Understanding local uses
Identify public expectations, behaviors and needs specific to each market. - Identify market dynamics
Analyze trends, investments, key players and development opportunities. - Building appropriate partnerships
Rely on local networks and strategic collaborations to accelerate its implementation. - Define a relevant entry strategy
