Our mission

Led by Arizona State University, our Hub unites nine universities across Arizona, California, Hawai‘i, Idaho and Nevada. We're breaking down geographical barriers and connecting emerging research areas with established innovation hubs, creating new opportunities scaling for growth.

By combining emerging and established research and entrepreneurial strengths across the region in an additive — not competitive — way, the Desert and Pacific Region Hub fosters collaboration that drives both individual and shared success.
