Louisiana Initiative

The Initiative is the foundation for building a robust, competitive game and digital media sector that utilizes digital technologies and creative processes to address Louisiana’s core social problems in education, healthcare, coastal restoration and retention of professional talent.

The Digital Technologies and Creative Processes Initiative, established by Act 19 of the Louisiana Legislature, is focused on building a robust game and digital media industry in Louisiana. The public policy objectives of the initiative are:

Assessment. Establish an independent, baseline assessment with supporting data for the game and digital media sector in Louisiana.

Curriculum Criteria. Establish independent, industry-based criteria for game and digital media education and training in Louisiana.

Pilot Project. Demonstrate the features and benefits of game and digital media education and training in a pilot for Louisiana high school and middle school students.

Seminars & Intensives. Educate and develop Louisiana stakeholders (students, parents, teachers, economic development professionals, and elected officials) through industry led seminars.

Digital Media Lab. Establish a laboratory and incubator for research, incubation and commercialization of digital media technologies and creative processes.
