Created through legislation passed in the recent 2023 state legislative session, The Utah Innovation Lab had a kick-off event on April 11, 2023, shortly after the signing ceremony in which Governor Spencer Cox signed seven technology and infrastructure-related bills into law.
The lab serves as an incubator site for ideas, a public policy staging area, a catalyst and convener for technology commercialization, a place of continuity for startups, and other functions supportive of new ideas and innovation in support of the core mission of the Point. Currently, the lab is housed in the Thomas S. Monson Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Eventually, it will establish a presence at The Point.
