This alliance goes beyond economic development. In fact, it’s all about innovation. We bring together the university’s leading economic drivers to mobilize resources, ideas, solutions and opportunities. Our goal? Empower individuals. Attract and retain top professionals, as well as the companies who hire them. And showcase Arkansas as the right choice for leadership in every arena – talent, training and technology. Welcome to the new economy.
