PIMA COUNTY (January 28, 2025) -- Pima County Economic Development staff met with a delegation composed of 12 Canadian companies actively looking to expand into the United States during an event hosted by the Arizona Commerce Authority on Jan. 21.
These companies focus on industries such as water technology development, advanced farming and agricultural techniques, and arid climate technology. Pima County staff interacted with these companies to help to locate them to Southern Arizona, and to create new connections to host additional delegations in Pima County.
The continuation of developing relationships with companies from outside the U.S. forges deeper international ties and creates additional opportunities in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the region. It also helps to diversify the local economy and create jobs for residents.
This delegation visit follows a Jan. 14 meeting with a delegation from Germany in the Historic Pima County Courthouse with Pima County, the Arizona Commerce Authority, the City of Tucson Office of Economic Initiatives, and Sun Corridor, Inc.
