The Arizona technology leaders and organizations to watch in 2023
After ending the first post-pandemic year in which life felt a little more normal, I’m expecting 2023 to bring another period of growth and prosperity in Arizona’s technology industry and for Arizona technology leaders and organizations.

And we watched legacy industries like aerospace and defense continue to grow with Raytheon, Honeywell and others making more headline news.
