Creating a new ICT hub at The Nunnery will enable education bosses to increase the amount of degree choices on offer to Island students.
That's the message from University College Isle of Man which says it's been 'blown away' by the level of support for the new venture.
Last week the UCM and International Centre for Technology held an open day for potential students - local businesses who are involved in the industry also attended.
Speaking at the event higher education manager Gail Corrin said there was a 'collective energy' at the new hub:
Pharmacy plans for former IOM Bank
Appeal after wood from van damages car
Island part of union data breach investigation
Cracked pipe closes NSC pool
Island updates arms export rules
Onchan Raceway to stay open with new lease
Jobcentre can't stop ads being doubled up
Deposits are biggest barrier to getting on property ladder
