'Studio Ulster is a bold and ambitious example of how working in partnership we can achieve sustainable growth for the economy in Northern Ireland'

Ulster University is looking for a world-leading production company for its Virtual Production Studio Complex with an estimated value of £26m in specialist equipment as part of a wider investment of over £70m.

Studio Ulster will be made possible by the Belfast Region City Deal, Belfast Harbour, Ulster University and Levelling Up funds. “With this commercial opportunity we reach an exciting milestone in the development of Studio Ulster. The company or consortium that secures this contract will meet the demands of a fast-growing European market and be at the heart of screen production here in Northern Ireland, one of the best locations outside London in which to make film and television, animation, games and unique real-time projects.

"At the core of the Department for the Economy’s 10X strategy is innovation and digital disruption and through Studio Ulster, Ulster University and Belfast Harbour are presenting the opportunity to further strengthen Northern Ireland's impressive offering to the global screen industry, and we welcome the latest project milestone.”

The University also offers development programmes for professionals already in the screen industry who want to branch out into new and emerging skills and technologies.
