VIDEO - Return on Investment for Arizona
Thanks to the hard work and ingenuity of the people of Arizona, we have enjoyed extraordinary prosperity and quality of life in our state.
In the new, global knowledge economy of the 21st century, continued prosperity depends on innovation - and innovation depends upon the investments we make in the talents of our citizens.
Arizonans want a strong economy, a good education system, and the availability
of high-quality, high-paying jobs. Science Foundation Arizona was formed as a
public/private partnership to help with exactly that. |
These results-driven investment grants, with high commercialization potential, have attracted & leveraged an additional $109 million in outside private capital, seeded the development of 11 new companies and fostered science and math skills in over 54,000 students statewide.

Together with its partners, Science Foundation Arizona is helping position Arizona as a recognized and significant location for innovation excellence - for today and for the future.
