Digital Media Technology

We live in the information age. This has brought us tremendous advantages and hitherto unimaginable opportunities. It has also brought a string of new dangers to individuals and organizations. Threats that have an erosive influence on the very fundamentals of our society and our democracy. Think of cybercrime, privacy violations, and fake news. We believe that a healthy society requires a healthy media climate. To that end, we are at the forefront of pioneering digital solutions. Jointly, we shape the new media society.

Healthy Society

The larger Amsterdam – Utrecht Region area is the home of media and IT in the Netherlands. It is here that television is produced and broadcasted. Where games are designed. Where some of the best digital media companies, designers and developers of Europe are bundled together. Where new forms of media, like immersive experiences, are developed and created. EdTech, FinTech and cloud computing, it all happens here.

An overwhelming 70% of all Dutch innovation is IT related, much of which is forged right here in the Utrecht Region. We have a sizeable gaming industry, digital media technology and design. The vibe is multilingual, easy going, inclusive and brims with excitement. A recipe for igniting new businesses. Connect and innovate with (major) companies based in the region like Nixxes, VodafoneZiggo, Talpa, and MediaMonks and start your European adventure.

Companies in Utrecht Region use artificial intelligence, blockchain technology and gamification to develop data vaults, reshape media distribution and digital protection. The closeness of media and gaming companies facilitates cross-fertilization and innovation in both sectors.
