The Shatter List recognizes the companies shaping the future of Utah’s innovation economy.

As technology, AI, and workforce expectations rapidly transform the market, the companies that stand out are doing more than building successful businesses — they are creating environments where great talent wants to work, grow, and lead. They are also investing beyond their own organizations to strengthen the broader technology ecosystem for everyone.

This year’s Shatter List recognizes companies across two distinct categories:

COMMUNITY CHOICE

These are the companies people most want to work for right now. Selected from a curated panel of industry judges, Community Choice companies are recognized for building strong cultures, attracting exceptional talent, creating meaningful career growth, and leading with vision in a rapidly changing economy. These organizations create momentum. Their reputation, leadership, and employee experience draw more top talent into Utah’s technology ecosystem and help shape where the future workforce wants to build.

COMMUNITY BUILDERS

These are the companies helping build the ecosystem itself. Community Builders are recognized for their long-term commitment to strengthening Utah’s technology community through mentorship, workforce development, education initiatives, leadership engagement, industry collaboration, and consistent investment in the next generation of talent. Their impact extends beyond their own company walls. They help expand opportunity, elevate the industry, and strengthen the foundation that enables Utah’s innovation economy to continue growing.

Shatter List judges include a curated group of technology executives, founders, industry influencers, investors, and ecosystem builders from across Utah’s innovation community.

The list will be announced on June 4, 2026 at the WTC Innovation Summit
