Under the umbrella of Canary Islands VFX, public institutions namely the Canary Islands Tax Incentives, ZEC, and Proexca collaborate closely with private companies and stakeholders to actively drive the growth of the VFX sector. The results have been striking: from just 2 or 3 studios in 2021, the ecosystem has expanded to 13 by March 2026—a path that reflects not just growth, but acceleration.
This momentum is no coincidence. The Canary Islands have carefully built a competitive ecosystem where talent, infrastructure, tax incentives, and institutional backing intersect, positioning them as a rising hub for animation, video games, and digital content—while VFX follows a similarly robust and increasingly consolidated path.
Studios such as 22Dogs, Platige Canaries, Carrousel, Blurr Rojo, Efectoscopio Blue, Creators & Company Productions CISL, Flaming Frames, or Derrotero Studio, showcase the depth of both artistic creativity and technical expertise now present across the islands.

The Carl Laemmle Institut complements the educational function of Filmakademie. In collaboration with partners in Germany and abroad, the department engages in research projects, developing technological innovations for the film and media world.
One major focus is the development of technologies that serve as the basis for ecologically sustainable productions at Filmakademie, its Animationsinstitut and beyond. Extended reality (XR) is a key technology in this context.
Artificial intelligence also has a strong influence on the creative processes of the film and media industry. It represent major opportunities and challenges. The focus of AI developments within the CLI is on the fair and traceable use of AI systems that support artists, but do not replace them.
The majority of the tools and software developed are available to all interested parties as Open-Source. In addition to Open-Access publications, extensive data collections are available to the entire creative industry under Creative Commons. This provides a comprehensive technological foundation for sovereign future developments.
