Arizona Commerce Authority

The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) is the state's leading economic development organization, focused on growing and strengthening Arizona’s economy. It operates with a three-pronged approach: recruiting out-of-state companies to expand in Arizona, supporting existing businesses to grow locally and beyond, and partnering with entrepreneurs to create new jobs and businesses in targeted industries.

The ACA serves a wide range of industries including aerospace and defense, technology and innovation, advanced manufacturing, and bioscience and healthcare. It provides resources such as statewide broadband plans, an aerospace and defense interactive database, and various programs to support business development. The organization is overseen by a public-private sector board of directors, chaired by Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, and includes prominent business leaders and academic figures.

Located in downtown Phoenix, the ACA offers assistance for businesses looking to start, grow, or relocate in Arizona. With a focus on quality recruitment and job creation, the ACA aims to make Arizona the best state for business, leveraging its low tax rates and favorable business climate.
