What a backdrop and what a Thursday evening! Talking with a big group of venture capitalists about investing in the state of Arizona and Sun Devil Football. #ActivateTheValley
Arizona set a NEW RECORD in 2022 - $24.7 billion in 2-way trade w/ USMCA partners, MX & CAN, an 11.6% increase over the previous year!
Shifts in global supply chains are bringing increased attention & investments to the USMCA trade bloc in high-value sectors, benefitting AZ.
Proud to sponsor the 6th Annual @invisionAZ Tech Summit at the @WMPhoenixOpen, an event that brings together innovators, investors and entrepreneurs to engage with global thought leaders who help drive Arizona’s growing tech sector. The future is here!
Thank you @GovernorHobbs and @Uarizonapres, Dr. Robbins, for the insightful dialogue at the @invisionAZ Tech Summit on Arizona’s rapidly growing tech sector as the state positions itself at the forefront of the 21st century economy.
Events like @invisionAZ’s Tech Summit highlight Arizona’s entrepreneurial spirit and embrace innovation as a key to the future. Excited to welcome the Southern Arizona Governor’s Office to the event and special thanks to AMC Board Members and Co-Chairs.

Startups in Sierra Vista have the chance to launch their businesses with the help of @UAZInnovation.
The @UArizona startup incubator is providing UACI resources, facilities, services and expert guidance to bolster business growth in the region.
When we took office, our economy was broken, and fixing it was a top priority. Today, we hit a major milestone in our efforts: Arizona has added more than half a million private sector jobs since 2015.
One of my top priorities while in office has been to advance Arizona’s relationship with our neighbor Mexico. A new, modernized port in Douglas will allow for increased trade, tourism, transportation and broadband, opening new pathways for economic collaboration.
Infrastructure is fundamental in supporting trade, its economic benefit and safety. 'Arizonans overwhelmingly support investments in infrastructure', CBN article reports.

Historically, the @AzMxCom has offered, in a coordinated manner, institutional gear to advance in multiple ways the AZ-🇲🇽relationship.
Yesterday, its leaders celebrated Governor @DougDucey’s commitment to trade and AZ’s economic partnership with MX.
Congratulations!
Hoy la @AzMxCom aprobó una contribución de $200,000 dólares para fortalecer los acuerdos alcanzados entre la @ArizonaState y los gobiernos de Sonora y Arizona para la investigación e innovación en la industria de los semiconductores. #DosNacionesUnFuturo 🇲🇽🇺🇸
I am with officials from the Az-Mex Commission and from the government of Arizona, and they have just announced a grant to the ASU Foundation, to further the collaboration between Arizona and Sonora in chip innovation, research and manufacturing, as a follow-up to the recent MOU.
Board President @Jessica1Pacheco kicks-off fireside chat as we say farewell to Gov @DougDucey & recognize his leadership & legacy as we highlight the work of our Board, committee leadership & regional partners in advancing the AZ-MX relationship.Thx for the insightful discussion!
Advancing Arizona’s relationship with Mexico — our neighbor — has been one of my top priorities. With the great work of the @AzMxCom, there is tremendous potential for continued economic collaboration!
