Corporate Engagement and Strategic Partnerships brochure

An invitation from Michael M. Crow

At Arizona State University we are continually looking for ways to expand our reach through teaching, research, discovery and strategic partnerships. We strive for the moonshot ideas and big solutions that are only made possible by a willingness to disrupt the status quo. We emphasize a culture of innovation, which pervades everything we do. We have been ranked No. 1 in the nation for innovation by U.S. News & World Report eight years in a row for a reason.

We cultivate talent: ASU is the largest provider of lifelong teaching and learning in the world. We teach more than 80,000 students on four academic campuses and other locations and an additional 90,000 digital immersion students. Our spirit of innovation permeates our students and faculty. From collaborations in computer science and business to creative pursuits in the arts, ASU encourages entrepreneurship.

We are a committed partner: ASU has a long history of successful corporate collaboration and a strong track record of meeting the diverse needs of our partners. ASU creates tailored, comprehensive, strategic relationships with like-minded organizations. These partnerships are diverse and include industry giants, like Mayo Clinic, Starbucks and adidas. We also work closely with local and regional governments to jointly plan, invest and advance together in sustainable, community-centered ways.

We believe in lifelong learning: ASU has decreased barriers to attaining a degree. Through financial aid packages, specialized programs and investing in technology, we connect those who want to learn with the ability to do so. Your company can leverage ASU’s expertise and insight to decrease the cost to recruit, train and retain employees.

I invite you to develop a one-of-a-kind partnership with us to accelerate our mutual goals for growth and well-being. We, like you, work quickly, drive consensus and know how to accomplish sustaining change in our communities.

Together, our synergy and potential can be awe-inspiring.

Building a new economy in Arizona

A magnet for high-tech industry

Arizona State University plays a key role in Arizona’s New Economy Initiative, created to build a competitive and resilient economy in the state. The initiative seeks to attract high-tech industry, drive job creation and boost Arizonans’ prosperity.

| New Economy Initiative

ASU’s role in the New Economy Initiative helps Arizona compete for and win investment from key players in New Economy industries, such as semiconductors, microelectronics and advanced manufacturing. The university has already established a foundation for Arizona’s industrial leadership in the 21st century — as evidenced by massive new investments by Intel and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, two of the largest microchip manufacturers in the world.

| Science and technology centers

Within the scope of the New Economy Initiative, ASU has been charged with lending its muscle as a research powerhouse to better position Arizona for global tech leadership. ASU is launching new science and technology centers (STCs) that enable collaboration between faculty, students and industry partners to take big ideas from the lab to the market. The centers focus on the following:

• Manufacturing, automation and data engineering

• Advanced materials, processes and energy devices

• Human performance

• Extreme environments

• Advanced communication

| Microelectronics

Arizona is poised to lead the rebirth of American semiconductor manufacturing. For years, ASU has partnered with business and civic leaders in Greater Phoenix to develop the business environment, infrastructure and human capital necessary to drive rapid expansion in semiconductor manufacturing. Semiconductor sales are projected to nearly double, reaching over $800 billion by 2028 — and with the New Economy Initiative, Arizona stands ready to capitalize on this opportunity.

| Workforce of the future

Across every sector, ASU is focusing academic programs on producing entrepreneurial, employable graduates with the creative and problem-solving skills to drive Arizona’s growth and competitiveness. ASU is meeting industry demand for skilled workers by mobilizing the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering — the largest engineering school in the country — and 16 other schools and colleges that graduate professionals who are critical to a vibrant New Economy ecosystem, such as allied health, biosciences, digital media and film, entrepreneurship, education, finance and more. The university also partners with the private sector to develop upskilling, re-skilling and specialized training programs for the existing workforce.
