Partnership For Economic Innovation

The connective program: through a community-driven applied research model and collaboration, our consortium of public, private, university, and community partners seek to empower greater phoenix communities to build the nation's largest, most connected, smart region, developing and deploying technology scalable solutions rooted in connectivity, mobility, equity, and sustainability.

The applied research program supports public and private-sector investments in industry-led, self-sustaining applied research centers to promote the growth of innovative industries and well-paying jobs.

The digital equity program works with government agencies to close the digital divide in underserved community populations.
