Corporate and Economic Development Partners

ASU's corporate and economic development team works with corporations and communities throughout Arizona, partnering with local and statewide organizations to build the state’s economy.

“ASU has been an instrumental partner of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council as we execute our mission in not only leading the business attraction for the region, but also working to enhance the competitiveness of Greater Phoenix. ASU adds more than a talented, skilled workforce – their leadership works hand in hand with the business community to work toward a more sustainable economic future for the region and the state.”

– Chris Camacho, President & CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council

“The primary focus of the Arizona Association for Economic Development is to advocate for responsible economic development throughout the state of Arizona. ASU has been a leader in this arena, forging partnerships across the state that provide access to top notch education and research resources to support workforce development and economic prosperity. AAED is proud of our partnership with ASU and looks forward to collaborating long into the future to help build the state’s economy.”

– Jennifer Graves, CEcD, President, Arizona Association for Economic Development

“ASU is a critical partner in our research and economic development efforts. The MAG Economic Development Committee works closely with ASU in aligning projects that support local governments and promote regional economic growth. Workforce analytics developed in partnership with ASU continue to be instrumental in business attraction and retention activities.”

– Mayor W.J. “Jim” Lane, City of Scottsdale, MAG Economic Committee Chair

“When it comes to economic development, talent drives all market decisions. High-tech companies in the industries we work with value ASU as a great source for that talent. A concentration of highly-skilled, highly-educated people greatly improves the state’s competitiveness and ASU is a key part of that equation.”

– Joe Snell, President & CEO, Sun Corridor Inc.
