• September 21, 2021

“The regions that can adapt to change by producing the next generation of talent, along with addressing equity and inclusion, will have more balanced and prosperous economies.” –Chris Camacho

Economic recovery is on a fast track, and the greater Phoenix area is running full steam ahead. Having recovered over 80% of the jobs lost in the early months of the pandemic, the Arizona metro has some really exciting things in the pipeline. From the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) mega-deal to the supplier super-cycle it has brought along, the deal flow is hot to trot in Phoenix.

Today, Faye Davis talks with Chris Camacho, president and CEO at the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) to dive deeper on the role GPEC has played and continues to play in ensuring economic vitality for the region. Chris shares great insights on the need to educate himself on the industries that are clustering in the community. He talks candidly about the opportunities for the greater Phoenix region to continue its path to a more modern economy, and what the prosperity and inclusivity paradigms mean for future work.

Chris is recognized as one of North America’s Top 50 Economic Developers, and we are thrilled to share our conversation with him to leave you with a shot in the arm for economic development. Tune in now to absorb some of Chris’ passion and energy for the work we do!
