About UT-IN

The adoption-facing association
for Utah's trusted digital economy.

UT-IN Utah was created to bridge the gap between Utah's technology community, blockchain ecosystem, economic development leadership, and emerging digital identity infrastructure.

Our Story

Utah is entering a new phase of digital leadership.

The state is becoming a national testbed for trusted digital identity, responsible AI, blockchain infrastructure, verifiable credentials, digital assets, privacy-preserving technology, and public-private innovation.

The Utah Blockchain Coalition has helped advance the infrastructure conversation. Silicon Slopes has helped build one of the strongest technology communities in the country. Economic development partners are working to attract investment and create opportunity across the state.

UT-IN Utah brings these worlds together.

As the sister organization to the Utah Blockchain Coalition,UT-IN focuses on the adoption side of the ecosystem: awareness, education, membership, events, awards, standards, and community engagement.

We help businesses, builders, communities, and institutions understand what is happening, prepare for what is coming, and participate responsibly.

Our Mission

To accelerate awareness, adoption, and responsible implementation of Utah's trusted digital economy.

Our Vision

Utah becomes the national model for digital trust - where identity, AI, blockchain, credentials, data, payments, energy, infrastructure, and economic development work together through open, privacy-preserving, rights-first systems.

Our Role

UT-IN is a bridge.

We connect the technology community, blockchain ecosystem, economic development partners, public-sector initiatives, private companies, educators, investors, and community leaders.

We are not here to duplicate the work of existing organizations.

We are here to connect them, strengthen them, and create practical adoption pathways for the private sector and the broader community.

What We Do

Five ways we move Utah
from innovation to impact.

Awareness

We make digital innovation understandable and actionable for leaders, businesses, communities, and institutions.

Adoption

We help organizations prepare for implementation through working groups, readiness frameworks, playbooks, and pilot pathways.

Events

We convene Utah's innovation ecosystem through forums, summits, briefings, workshops, and roundtables.

Awards

We recognize the people, projects, companies, and communities advancing trusted digital innovation.

Standards

We develop practical frameworks for responsible adoption of digital identity, AI, blockchain, credentials, and trusted technology.

Our Principles

The commitments that guide
everything we build.

01

Individual Control

Digital systems should respect the rights, consent, and choices of the people who use them.

02

Privacy by Design

Trust begins with systems that minimize data exposure, protect sensitive information, and give users meaningful control.

03

Open Participation

Utah's digital economy should create opportunity for startups, enterprises, communities, educators, and public-sector partners.

04

Responsible Innovation

New technologies should be adopted with care, transparency, accountability, and measurable benefit.

05

Practical Adoption

Innovation only matters when it becomes useful.UT-IN focuses on implementation, readiness, and impact.

06

Long-Term Infrastructure

Trusted systems must be resilient, interoperable, secure, and capable of outliving trends, vendors, and administrations.
