The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) is the state's leading economic development organization with a streamlined mission to grow and strengthen Arizona’s economy. The ACA uses a three-pronged approach to advance the overall economy: recruit, grow, create – recruit out-of-state companies to expand their operations in Arizona; work with existing companies to grow their business in Arizona and beyond; and partner with entrepreneurs and companies large and small to create new jobs and businesses in targeted industries.

Arizona Public Service (APS) generates clean, reliable and affordable energy for 2.7 million Arizonans across the state. As the state’s largest and longest-serving energy provider with more than 6,000 employees, APS works to provide a sustainable energy future for Arizona.
"APS and ASU have built a multi-faceted partnership that has spanned decades and crossed disciplines. By combining our strengths, we recently elevated, expanded, and accelerated our impact. For example, we’ve created a custom small business program with ASU’s Thunderbird School of Global Management, and we have teamed up with ASU and PayPal to increase solar power in Arizona through the Red Rocks Solar Panel Plant. Also, we’re proud to hire Sun Devils and have selected ASU as a University of Choice for our recruiting efforts. I am looking forward to many more years of serving our communities with Arizona State University."
