Why Arizona Is Becoming A Hotbed For Tech
Arizona has rapidly become an epicenter for electric vehicle and self-driving tech, and it’s now the site of three big new semiconductor factories as the U.S. struggles to increase production during the global chip shortage.
The Arizona Commerce Authority says it helped 634 companies relocate or expand in Arizona between 2015 and 2020. Big names include Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and electric vehicle companies Lucid Motors, ElectraMeccanica, Nikola and Atlis Motor Vehicles.
In 2020, Phoenix attracted more residents than any other U.S. city for the fourth year in a row, as highly skilled remote workers flocked to the lower cost of living and wide open spaces of the Grand Canyon State.
Watch the video to hear from Gov. Doug Ducey, big companies, and Arizonans about why the tech boom is happening and how it’s changing the state.

Other biggest semiconductor companies in Taiwan isn’t located in desert. It’s near the sea. Same for that in South Korea and China mainland. But US makes an opposite decision. I did a research project in desert area. In my knowledge, water deficiency is I’ll lead more and more severe storms with sand and larger desert areas in desert areas. Would like to see why the environment department approved a project that needs huge amount of water there.

I am not an Einstein but building factories in Arizona without water is not a good deal for anybody. San Antonio Texas in the surrounding South Texas is running out of water people are using water like it's going out of style. We will be out of water in the near future

Phoenix was a high tech city in the 70s and 80s with Motorola hiring over 50,000 people here. I was one of them. Then Japan took over and killed Motorola. Intel still hires over 25,000 people. But now we have a new influx of companies. Best part is, it brings in highly educated people which everyone knows educated people lean left. Good for the state.

None of these new endeavors are successful yet. Lots of promise, but plenty of challenges too.

Southern AZ, southern states along the Gulf Coast and southeast Atlantic states, and in CA Imperial and east Riverside Counties. Beaufort County, SC is the riskiest.

Problem is there's no infrastructure to attract diversity and scholar. Like universities and startups. Will it then be only a manufacturer land?

Thanx, very well made and informative. Especially interesting how Arizona’s growth changes politics away from the ultra-right

TSMC will be a great help on electrical vehicle & self-driving tech; in addition, the U.S economy
will move rapidly in next decade. Taiwan's TSMC still keep its strength all the way. American
could really emerge a better future.

AZ is the sixth largest state in area, fourteenth in population. Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the entire nation, behind only NYC, L.A., Chicago & Houston. Six other AZ cities (all in Phoenix area plus Tucson) are in the 100 biggest in the nation. Buckeye, AZ is in the top 5 fastest growing cities in the nation (#1 from 2020-2021). Maricopa County is one of the largest (population and area) and fastest-growing counties in the nation (Top 5 again). We have few natural disasters (no hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.). You could get a gorgeous two story home for $200K for a long time (until recently). My place doubled its value in the past five years.

Water.
If the Colorado River is weak these years, living in the Southwest US could become quite the problem.
This damn drought could continue for another 10 years.
