It’s thought that for every 100 technology jobs created in Arizona in 2020, 252 new jobs were added in other industries. Technology is a key driver of our economy, with the potential to propel Arizona to the forefront as a national and global leader in innovation by 2030 and elevate quality of life for families of all backgrounds.

But to rise to the demands of future industries and build a world-class economy fueled by innovation, we must continue to evolve, advance and invest in growing talent, R&D and new types of opportunities for industry to develop world-changing ideas here.
