The downtown Buffalo Byte Belt welcomes another high tech company. Enlightened Medias, which specializes in streaming video over the Internet, has relocated their offices from Amherst to the Brisbane Building, located at 403 Main Street, in Downtown Buffalo.

According to Enlightened's president, Kevin S. Upton, the move was designed to, "Take advantage of the incredible technical infrastructure available in the Byte Belt district. Being downtown right now for an Internet company, is like driving your car on a five lane superhighway built just for you." By continuing to facilitate interactive video communications over the Internet, Enlightened hopes to make Downtown Buffalo the center of their global Internet broadcasting network.

This news, coming on the heels of their recent strategic alliance with Algonquin Studios, "will allow Enlightened to actualize some of the larger projects currently in development," according to Mr. Upton. Algonquin Studios' partnership with Enlightened Medias shows their continued support of the downtown Byte Belt initiative. After locating in the Byte Belt themselves in 1998, Algonquin Studios has continued supporting other tech startups (including Med Recovery Management and Golden Hire Consulting) with contributions of office space, Internet connectivity and other business resources. According to Algonquin's president and CEO Steve Kiernan, "working with other entrepreneurs to develop and grow businesses in downtown Buffalo is not only rewarding personally, but has created a number of business synergies for us, including EDZ benefits and other BERC administered incentives."

Both Enlightened Medias and Algonquin Studios are proud to be Buffalo based technology companies at the forefront of their respective industries. This new collaboration highlights the innovative thinking and cooperative spirit that both organizations believe will lead Buffalo's growth in the new millennium.
