Taking High-Tech To New Heights in AZ

Business Facilities, the leading site selection magazine, spotlighted Arizona this month. From microchips to missiles, stents to satellites, electric vehicles to optics, Arizona is at the forefront of innovation. The state’s access to a highly-skilled talent base, robust supply chain, and low business costs all contribute to the best environment for business. The UA Tech Park at The Bridges was showcased as one of the strategic business locations in Arizona.

 

Take Your Kid to Work Day - Home Edition

Usually, the park is full of child innovators and future leaders as they follow their parents from the home into the workplace on Take Your Kid to Work Day. This year we still celebrated with a special work from home edition.
