Utah Tech Month

Utah's tech industry is a powerful, growing force in the state's economy, contributing more than $25 billion to the GDP and more than ten percent industry growth over the past five years.

From cutting-edge advancements in AI, aerospace, and biotech, Utah is a hub for a diverse range of technology companies, from ambitious startups to established giants.

Governor Spencer J. Cox has officially designated February as Tech Month in Utah.

We invite Utahns to participate in the various tech-focused events happening throughout the month — engage with and contribute to the ongoing success and future of this vital sector.

Fostering a Pro-Human, Connected Tech Economy

Tech acts as a self-sustaining engine within Utah's economy. To ensure its continued growth, the state is adopting a generational, connected strategy that looks beyond traditional development. This approach focuses on maximizing Utah's appeal to founders and tech professionals by emphasizing a high quality of life and "pro-human" leadership on topics like AI, ensuring that technology serves and empowers its people.

Utah is working to foster an environment where more startups can emerge, often by building on existing tech successes. The Governor and GOEO, in collaboration with industry partners, events, and leaders, are committed to:

Aligning and strengthening the tech ecosystem broadly.
Expanding access to mentorship and building confidence and opportunity.
Activating and utilizing the state's university system to drive talent development and innovation.
