£25m virtual production studio to be built at Giant's Park on north foreshore of Belfast Lough
It will be used not only by industry, but also by students to help grow the talent pool for the creative industries.
Ulster University vice chancellor Paul Bartholomew said: "For many years we have been responding to industry reports of skills requirements and shortages through the Ulster Screen Academy, offering students innovative film and broadcast, animation, games and immersive technologies courses to help deliver the much needed skilled workforce to drive the screen industries forward.
The new virtual production stage is set be the first dedicated studio of its kind in Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland Screen chief executive Richard Williams said: "Virtual production has really shaken up the screen industries and Studio Ulster will be transformative for our industry here in Northern Ireland."
