Zygo Media: Global Growth, Local Talent
Zygo Media, based in Swansea, is already well known in the gaming world supporting huge names like TimTheTatman with scaled content services. They are now bringing that world-class experience in gaming content to the business world.
Jack Sargeant MS, Welsh Government Minister for Culture, Skills and Social Partnership and Rob Stewart, Leader of Swansea Council, visited the company’s Swansea base in High Street to see for themselves.
"It's fantastic to catch up with Zygo Media again and hear their plans for expansion. The company attended the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco with us earlier this year as part of the Creative Wales delegation who were there to showcase Welsh talent and demonstrate the support available to potential investors. Gaming is a priority sector for us. It is a market that is projected to grow to over $200 billion by 2025 - and there is huge potential to capitalise on that growth here in Wales and provide high quality employment opportunities for current and future generations."
