Future Knowledge Ecosystems: Is Arizona Ready?
During the first week in June, the International Association of Science Parks held its World Conference in North Carolina at Research Triangle Park. This was the first time this conference had ever been held in the United States and drew attendees from all corners of the globe. The theme of this year’s conference was “Future Knowledge Ecosystems” and focused on the opportunities for partnerships in creating the next generation of science and technology parks.
WHAT ARE “FUTURE KNOWLEDGE ECOSYSTEMS?”
A unique concept in 1959, Research Triangle Park (RTP) was born out of North Carolina’s need to diversify its economy. At the time, North Carolina’s economy was reliant on three primary industries (all of which were declining due to competition), their per capita incomes were among the lowest in the nation, and the state was experiencing significant brain drain out of the university system due to the lack of area opportunities for graduates. A committee formed of government, university, and business leaders
founded RTP in the hopes of changing the economic composition of the region and state, thereby increasing the opportunities for the citizens of North Carolina. Held as the Gold Standard of science and technology park development for the last 50 years, RTP is now faced with the challenge of reinventing itself to respond to today’s technology-driven industry needs. So what is the future of Technology-Led Economic Development and the science and technology park? According to a study by The Institute for the Future

Mention Arizona, and likely responses include the Grand Canyon, luxury resorts and championship golf courses. But more decision makers will also tout the state’s strong aerospace and defense industry, high-tech manufacturing and rising opportunity in solar and renewable energy. Today’s Arizona is a hotbed of economic opportunity and high-tech innovation. Since the start of 2009, companies representing key industries have made strong investments in Arizona.
LEADING TECHNOLOGY
In February, Intel Corporation announced it would spend seven billion dollars to upgrade manufacturing processes at its Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon plants – and the largest portion, three billion dollars, would be invested in Chandler, Arizona.

Vice President’s Message
AAED’s 2008-2009 Fiscal Year came to an end a few weeks ago and a new year is upon us. The Arizona economy continues to slowly recover and forecasters predict the housing bottom is now two quarters away. What did we learn from two years of vast economic deterioration? Two major themes rose to the top in my mind: how quickly we can fall and how unified we can become. It seems like years ago since Arizona was on cloud nine and leading the nation in economic prosperity. We learned the hard way how quickly an economy can collapse when its base industries are highly concentrated within just a few sectors. The bear construction market has taken us from top five in job creation in 2007 to 49th in 2009. Experts suggest that the construction industry will have lost one half of its workforce from 2006-2010. Just like every ebb and flow cycle, real estate will come back. However, now is the time to build stronger export industries in our state that will mitigate the volatility of a growth-dominated economy.
Chris Camacho, Greater Phoenix Economic Council
Second major theme is that we experienced a momentous occasion with rural and urban economic development leaders from around the state coming together toward a common goal. A Renewable Energy Jobs Bill passed the Senate in June and will hopefully have passed the House and have been signed by Governor Brewer by the time of publication. Our economic development leadership did everything in its power to move this important legislation forward. I commend Dave Bentler, Jane Bristol, Julie Engel, Joe Snell, Barry Broome and many others from around the state for encouraging our elected leadership to move aggressively on an important jobs bill when the budget crisis had everyone’s full attention. Therein lies the proof that smart economic policy driven by widespread support can make a difference in the lives of Arizonans. As we move in the latter part of 2009, I encourage leaders from around the state to continue to invest time and resources in AAED to continue the strengthening of our brand, but to also push other legislative measures necessary to promote new high wage job creation. In the end, the fruits of our labor will be felt as we force the recovery to come sooner than later.
Stimulus Update: Where is Your Money Going?
• During Obama’s second 100 days in the White House, it is expected that another 600,000 jobs will be created - 135,000 of them will be in the teaching field. For Arizona teachers who were laid off in April, this means they may be going back to work in the fall. • $350 million of the stimulus dollars will be given to the Arizona Department of Transportation and will be used throughout the state. Two projects include the widening of I-17 north of the Carefree Highway up to Anthem and the addition of a third lane in each direction on the I-10 in the west Valley between Sarival Road and Verado Way. • Stimulus money will also pay for renovations to the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Phoenix and the Tucson Veteran’s Center.

SPOTLIGHT: Julie Engel, Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation
Yuma County, larger than the state of Connecticut, with over 5,522 sq. miles, is located in the southwest corner of Arizona. The yearround population is 235,000 but increases each winter by 100,000. This month’s spotlight is on the President/ CEO of the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation (GYEDC) which is dedicated to attracting commerce and industry to the Yuma region. Originally from North Platte, Nebraska, this individual followed her spouse to Yuma in 1996 when he joined the Arizona Game & Fish. A mother of three daughters, two college graduates and a six year old, indicates she changes careers every decade. In her 20’s she was a cosmetologist, in her 30’s a government financier, and in her 40’s an economic developer. Please meet Julie Engel… What projects does Yuma currently have with regional/state impact? In September 2009, we will open the new San Luis II Commercial Port of Entry in
Joyce Grossman, City of Phoenix
connection with the Robert A. Vaughn Expressway, a limited access highway from the port connecting to Interstate 8. The project will potentially employ 1,000 workers. What are the economic development issues that Yuma will have to address in the next five years? We need state reform of the existing tax structure coupled with the induction of reasonable incentive policies to attract corporate businesses. In Yuma, we have to go back to our roots, a business-friendly environment. Reduce the costs related to impact and capacity fees. What do you enjoy about your job? The wonderful people I work with. The thing I like most is the job creation and what it does for the communities we serve. What was your first job and what did you learn from it? At the age of 12, I cleaned a beauty shop. I learned that I did not want to do janitorial work the rest of my life, but I did want to do hair. What is a little known fact about you? I was a kickboxing instructor at World Gym until I became the President/ CEO for GYEDC in July 2008. Yes, it did help to prepare me for a career in economic development.

Scottsdale
The City of Scottsdale has adopted a new Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district to encourage mixed-use infill development in commercial areas. The new district allows developers to mix multi-family residential uses with retail stores, offices, and employment uses. Rezoning a property to PUD increases the allowed building height to 48 feet (plus another 10 feet for mechanical equipment) from 36 feet compared to other commercial corridor districts, and provides more flexibility on development standards, residential density, and commercial floor area. PUD zoning can be obtained on smallmedium sized sites of one-half to 15 acres on arterial and collector streets. For more details, contact Kira Wauwie, Scottsdale Planning Department, at 480-312-7990 or visit www.scottsdaleaz.gov/codes/zoning
“Wickenburg fills an illustrious chapter in the history of Arizona and the West. Though only 54 miles away from the hustle and bustle of modern Phoenix, Arizona’s most western community hearkens back to a different time and place” (Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce). Wickenburg was founded in 1863, by Henry Wickenburg, a miner who discovered the Vulture Mine where more than $30 million in gold has been excavated. On June 19, Wickenburg wi l l celeb r at e its c e n t e n n i a l anniversary of being i n c o r p o r at e d a s a Town. Wickenburg’s growth has remained steady at a 2% increase. Today’s population is approximately 7,000 residents. Historically, Wickenburg’s economy has been based in ranching, farming, mining and tourism. With today’s volatile market, the need to diversify its economic base is paramount. Wickenburg’s proximity to all major interstate highways and an abundance of available land make this area an excellent spot for business prosperity. Today, Wickenburg is home to several counseling/treatment centers (The Meadows, Remuda Ranch, Rosewood Ranch, Gate House) and a few manufacturing companies with global imports and exports. For the past year or so, Wickenburg’s focus has been in establishing a Partnership organization while combining efforts with WESTMARC, ultimately resulting in the inclusion of its business park in the Western Maricopa Enterprise Zone. The Partnership is also spearheading an effort to establish a 1,500 acre rail-served industrial park just west of Wickenburg. Additionally, there are several opportunities in the solar industry that Wickenburg is exploring.
Winslow
Representatives of the Grand Canyon Trust, Arizona Forest Restoration Products, and Center for Biological Diversity signed an agreement committing mutual support to a plan to safely restore beneficial fires and conserve biological diversity in northern Arizona ponderosa pine forests, the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the world. The new agreement supports the construction of an oriented-strand-board, or “OSB,” plant by Arizona Forest Restoration Product. The plant, which has a lifespan of about 20 years, would use small-diameter trees resulting from about 30,000 acres of ecological restoration treatments per year across a 2.4 million-acre analysis area. The facility will provide more than 600 jobs and inject up to $200 million annually into the regional economy. To learn more about AZFRP, please visit www.azfrp.com.

Future Knowledge Ecosystems... continued from page 1
AAED committee’s are looking to stay cool this summer. Here’s how they plan on doing it:
The Spring Conference was a big success and the awards dinner was incredible – the winners are still pinching themselves. A Run for the Roses was a great theme that magically turned the evening into a beautiful night! The EDDE Awards Banquet Committee is officially taking a break and will regroup later this year.
NORTHERN ARIZONA COMMITTEE
(www.iftf.org/iasp), there are 14 trends that are currently shaping Future Knowledge Ecosystems and the regions they are located in. These trends fall into the three broad categories of changes in Economy & Society, Science & Technology, and Models & Places for Research & Development. These emerging trends were used to develop three scenarios for the future of technology-based economic development over the next 20 years: • SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY PARKS 3.0 Similar in design to the research parks being created today, upon closer examination one can see these new parks are centers where conventional tenants are brought together with collaborative networks and university support and integration. S m a l l e r, • THE R ISE OF R ESE ARCH more agile, flexible and inexpensive research space surrounding local universities, “research clouds”, make the structured park environment obsolete. • DEMATERIALIZED INNOVATION R&D activities become more virtual and the demand for research space declines. The trends and scenarios derived by this study also point to strategic takeaways that will help grow competitive communities. At the heart of each

Two of the hottest topics in these challenging times are job creation (business attraction and retention) as well as revenue enhancements. At its next meeting on July 10th, the Northern Arizona Committee is planning to showcase long-term economic development planning and successes from Cottonwood, Prescott Valley, Kingman and Winslow. The meeting will feature presentations by Gary Kellog on two local ED programs, “Auto to Work” and “Remodel Havasu”. Additionally, there will be a presentation by Arizona Forest Restoration Products and an opportunity to take a tour of Winslow after the meeting concludes. Plan to attend this exciting meeting and bring a friend!
SOUTHERN ARIZONA COMMITTEE
The Southern Arizona Luncheon is scheduled for July 22nd. The Tohono O’Odham Nation is tentatively planned to present their economic development plans for the future. Stay tuned for upcoming mixer dates.
ECONOMIC & WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The committee will be meeting over the next several weeks to review and further develop activities pertaining to the Action Plan for the upcoming year. The discussion points will include but not limited to: • Committee event that focuses on the future of economic development, workforce development, and innovation in Arizona • Committee’s role in arising as the leader/facilitator in providing information relating to Arizona’s Competitiveness in the area of workforce readiness • Marketing of workforce development resources and programs, regionally and statewide • Membership outreach to peers in community to further strengthen workforce and economic development efforts

scenario is the role of local universities. Though often slow to adapt, universities will need to become more responsive to regional technology needs if an area is to become a future knowledge ecosystem. Additionally, there needs to be a shift from product based to service based activities. New models need to focus on things like venture investments in new technology companies and evolve from products (buildings, sites, infrastructure) to services (incubation, technology transfer). Lastly, to ensure success of technology-led economic development, and in particular the science and technology park, collaboration among various state and regional entities is essential. In each of the papers presented by the more than 50 presenters, a public/ private collaborative relationship was at the heart of the venture. In the US and abroad, successful regions had taken initiatives to provide resources and development tools to help stimulate technology investment in their region, country, or town.

start-up companies and increased investments by State Universities in research and development activities. New initiatives are also on the horizon, like SB1403 which is aimed at growing jobs in renewable energy sectors. Furthermore, it is proven that these efforts are beginning to pay off. Metro Phoenix recently ranked #23 in the Milken Institutes ranking of top performing metros in the High-Tech Economy. Additionally,the commerce article starting on the first page of this newsletter details the growth and expansion of innovative companies in 2009. The work isn’t over yet. The current budget crisis facing our state puts us at risk of taking three steps back for the one step we’ve made toward progress. As an economic development community committed to advancing Arizona’s future, we all need to continue to work together to achieve our goals. As evidenced by emerging technology regions across the globe, integrated statewide collaboration is the key to success as we grow Arizona’s innovation industries. Each of the regions across this state have strengths to bring to the table and a cooperative approach that highlights these strengths as a cohesive package which will help Arizona come out on top – Remember, “The whole is more than the sum of its parts”.
Much like the North Carolina of 1959, Arizona’s economy is primarily supported by industries that are volatile and that have seen a recent decline: tourism, retail sales activity, and construction. Additionally, in 2008 Arizona’s personal per-capita income ranked 42nd in the nation and the state has consistently experienced a brain drain from our university system due to the lack of area opportunities for graduates. However, in recent years Arizona has made significant progress toward increasing its innovative capacity and key leaders are recognizing the importance of innovation and voicing their support. “Arizona’s innovative businesses are critical to Arizona’s global competitiveness and economic recovery,” says Commerce Director Donald Cardon. “As Governor Jan Brewer has stated, we must promote job growth and sustainability and capital formation. Commercialization of products and discoveries by Arizona innovators will lead to new products, services, companies and the high-wage, high-skill jobs that will strengthen our State’s economic future.” Activities that are contributing to Arizona’s improved competitive position include investments made by the State to Science Foundation Arizona to support

The company says it’s making this investment to remain at the forefront of innovation. “These manufacturing facilities will produce the most advanced computing technology in the world,” said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini. “The capabilities of our 32nm factories are truly extraordinary, and the chips they produce will become the basic building blocks of the digital world, generating economic returns far beyond our industry.” While Intel generates more than seventy-five percent of its sales overseas, a majority of its manufacturing, research and development, and capital investments are in the United States.

systems and service solutions for aircraft manufacturers, airlines, business and general aviation, military, space and airport operations. In April, the company announced a contract with Wizz Air of Hungary to provide a suite of its safety and navigational avionics, as well as fuel-saving Auxiliary Power Units, which will ensure a safer and more comfortable ride for passengers and provide class-leading fuel efficiency on the airline’s 70 new Airbus A320 family. Arizona ranks in the top 10 for related aerospace exports in the United States. There are nearly 500 companies employing over 250,000 professionals within the industry, and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) places Arizona in the top five states for DOD contracts. Aerospace and defense related parts account for a majority of Arizona’s export products. In 2008, exports from the state to the rest of the world grew by more than a half-billion dollars from 2007, a 2.68% increase to $19.74 billion. Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Arizona Department of Commerce indicate electrical machinery was the most in-demand, accounting for $7.2 billion in exports, followed by machinery, with $3.1 billion. “Growing stable jobs is our highest priority, and it involves a number of different initiatives, including continuing to offer assistance to Arizona businesses to help them bring in new dollars – and employment – through exports,” said Governor Jan Brewer. Adding it is part of “a comprehensive approach to creating and sustaining jobs for our citizens.” The bigger players in the Arizona aerospace industry include companies such as Boeing, General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. However, the majority of companies in the area are small to medium size businesses that are suppliers to the larger companies.
READY FOR TOMORROW
Spanish based Albiasa Solar has chosen Arizona as the new location for its U.S. renewable energy development headquarters and has chosen a site near Kingman for a 200 megawatt (MW) concentrating solar power (CSP) plant. “Arizona is a natural location for our first major U.S. project due to the solar and transmission resources,” said Jesse Tippett, Albiasa Corporation’s U.S. operations director during the company’s news conference in April. “We look forward to doing business here.” Assisted by the Arizona Department of Commerce, Albiasa’s projects will create up to 2,000 construction jobs and more than 100 permanent jobs for Arizonans. The company’s office in Phoenix will serve as its Arizona headquarters. “The Albiasa Kingman project involves over $1 billion capital investment and will generate annually, with molten salt thermal storage, more than 665,000 MWh of renewable solar energy when completed in 2013,” said Albert Fong, Albiasa Corporation’s Chief Project Engineer. Albiasa joins world-class solar-related companies in Arizona including First Solar and Centrosolar in Phoenix, Kyocera Solar and Stirling Energy Systems, in Scottsdale and Global Solar (Solon AG) in Tucson. Arizona is a renewable-energy pioneer - the first state in the country to require utilities to produce at least some solar energy. Others followed our lead, and today, 23 states, including Arizona, have a renewable-energy mandate.
ADVANCED AVIONICS
As mentioned in the previous article, the state has made progress toward supporting the next waves of scientific and technological advancement. An exciting blend of intellectual talent, state-of-the-art facilities and public-private partnerships have been developed to accelerate next-generation solutions. Arizona’s high performance workforce is diverse, skilled, and growing at a faster rate than most other states. Employers benefit from a workforce backed by a strong university system including Arizona State University, University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University.
Based in Phoenix, Honeywell’s $12 Billion aerospace business is a leading global provider of integrated avionics, engines,
