College/University - Las Cruces, NM, US
Arrowhead Center was created by New Mexico State University (NMSU) to be an engine for sustainable economic development, ultimately improving the quality of life for all New Mexicans. Arrowhead Center is accomplishing this by collaboratively facilitating the creation of an innovation‐driven economy, where New Mexico's ability to convert ideas into marketable technologies, faster and better than the competition, will determine the pace of the state's economic growth. Generating ideas in bulk and leaving commercialization to chance is not sufficient to spur innovation. To accelerate our innovation economy, Arrowhead Center brokers the constant interplay between those in the market in search of solutions, innovative researchers, savvy entrepreneurs, eager students, educated employees, advanced facilities, and effective public/private partnerships. We are equipped to leverage innovation as an ongoing mechanism for promoting new business development and the job growth that goes with it.
