In 2020, Arizona’s three public universities committed to raising the state’s competitiveness and per capita income through an ambitious New Economy Initiative, supported by the Arizona Board of Regents with strategic investments in areas of strength.

“With smart investment and bold leadership, our public universities are poised to lead Arizona into the New Economy driven by discovery, knowledge and innovation, and anchored by a philosophy of opportunity for all.”

The state recognizes health and medical innovation, leading space exploration, and mining as core regional strengths that the University of Arizona can drive, and prepare a workforce for.

Join this special event to meet UA President Bobby Robbins and AVP for Tech Parks Arizona, Carol Stewart, hear how the University of Arizona is preparing Greater Tucson for the new economy, and how Tucson’s Young Professionals can be a driving force for inclusive 21st century prosperity and innovation.
