Developing the Economy
Since 1985
Arizona Regional Economic Development Foundation (AREDF) was incorporated in 1985 with the mission of creating a thriving, sustainable economy.

Since then, the organization has been responsible for the recruitment and retention of a number of large companies - directly creating and retaining hundreds of jobs.

AREDF is also responsible for the successful launch and operation of two business development co-spaces that house entrepreneurs and small business owners in the startup & development stages of their venture:

In addition to the recruitment of companies and operation of the business development locations, AREDF is the founder and operator of Aerospace Arizona Association, a growing association geared toward promoting the aerospace industry throughout the State of Arizona:
