Water and Power: The Building Blocks of Growth

Billions of investment dollars have poured into Arizona, fundamentally changing the state’s economic trajectory. But for this hot streak to continue, the core infrastructure of growth must be secure. Today, the availability of water and power are top priorities for the industry — because without easy access to both, expansion efforts will stall. The 2026 AZRE Forum will tap into the expertise of local thought leaders to give attendees a wholistic view of the problem at hand and what solutions are being pursued.
