Why Arizona?

Why start a bioscience business in Arizona? Or move your business here? 

Why accept a position at one of our leading firms, research institutes, hospitals, or universities?

The reasons are many and the result of a decades-long, statewide dedication to advancing the biosciences in Arizona.

The third iteration of Arizona’s Bioscience Roadmap, released in September 2025, establishes five new goals, including elevating Arizona’s startup ecosystem, with 15 strategies. It’s the longest-running, actively managed, statewide bioscience plan in the nation.

We invite you to learn more about the Roadmap and the institutions and people dedicated to Arizona becoming a nationally recognized leader in the biosciences.
