Digital Media Initiative

Helping Make Utah the Digital Media Capital of the World

USTAR’s Central Utah Technology Outreach Program is facilitating the creation of a new digital media initiative in Utah. The initiative is bringing business, university, and government entities together to make Utah the world-wide industry leader in digital media and with that will come hundreds, if not thousands of new jobs.

A primary aim of the alliance will be to assist local video game, animation and film, and Web 2.0 companies, such as EA Salt Lake, Disney Avalanche, Sandman Studios and Spectrum DNA in recruiting talent, developing partnering opportunities, and increasing international awareness of Utah’s leading capabilities in the digital media arena.

In line with this industry approach. USTAR has helped the University of Utah launch a new digital media innovation research team to further technical advances and integrate these efforts with local businesses.
