ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
June, 2008
Dear Colleague:
Thank you for your interest in Arizona’s growing biosciences
industry.
The 2008-2009 Arizona Bioscience Directory was compiled
to promote Arizona’s emerging strength as a bio and life
sciences powerhouse. Over the past few years, our state has
built an incredible life sciences infrastructure at a time when
the industry is expanding and producing new discoveries
every day that will improve the quality of life for everyone.
Arizona’s bioscience momentum has attracted world-wide
attention through a variety of ways: construction of new
research facilities; recruitment of key scientists to the state;
an increasing number of new and expanding biotech firms;
plus an enhanced focus on math and science education in
K-12. Unique public-private partnerships continue to drive
Arizona’s success in the global bioscience arena and the
state has developed a reputation for openness and access to
leadership not found in other biotech hubs. And, Arizona’s
pro-business environment encourages companies to take an
active role in shaping Arizona’s economic future.
We hope that you find this guide helpful, and encourage you
to contact our office to learn more about the opportunities
Arizona offers.
To reach our Business Attraction Team, please call 602-771-1123.
We also invite you to visit www.azcommerce.com.
Yours very truly,
Jan Lesher, Director
