In Narva, a unique 3D and multimedia studio was opened in Estonia
In the historical building of the Krenholm Manufactory in Narva, a unique 3D and multimedia Studio 3wavedesigned to develop the digital creative sector of Ida-Virumaa and stimulate the emergence of new startups in the region.
The founders of the studio, Alexei Ivanov and Dmitry Shutov, see in Narva great potential for creating modern visual technologies and putting them into the global market. “In Ida-Virumaa, the film industry is actively developing, and the need for qualified specialists in visual technologies is growing. At the same time, the unemployment rate in the region remains high, and many local residents have technical skills-they can find themselves in the fast-growing field of 3D technologies, ”said Alexei Ivanov.
Dmitry Shutov added that Narva also has significant potential to become a game development center. “At the moment, development is limited by the lack of qualified specialists, but 3wave is just striving to make up for this gap,” he said.
The opening of the multimedia studio was supported by Startup Estonia as part of the Ida-Virumaa development program. The head of the regional development projects Startup Estonia, Elina Dubova noted that Ida-Virumaa is in many ways an ideal place to launch such an initiative. “The goal of Startup Estonia is to strengthen the startup community outside of large cities, such as Tallinn and Tartu, and I am very glad that the inhabitants of Ida-Virumaa had a unique opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, practical experience and healthy contacts in such a promising field as visual technologies. I hope that 3wave studio will give an impetus to the emergence of new startups in the region, ”said Dubova.
The purpose of the 3wave studio is to prepare a new generation of creative specialists in the field of visual technologies. A long-term task is to support the formation of a professional community in Narva, capable of developing and implementing high-quality 3D projects for games, cinema and other areas of multimedia.
The center will conduct intensive 3D modeling courses and digital visualization, focused on both specialists of creative industries and people who want to retrain and start a career in a new fast-growing field. In addition, this year, 3wave studio organizes a number of free events, such as master classes, open lectures, Portfolio development days and the final gala member, on which the projects of the program participants will be presented.
The project is implemented in cooperation with partners such as IDA Hub, Gamedev Estonia, Viru Filmifond and Startup Estonia.
