To continue to foster the hotbed of innovation and economic development happening in the city’s center, Phoenix has launched PHX Core —its innovation district. With the launch, the City unveiled the district’s new website and brand. The district’s strategy and its new brand have been in development since Mayor Greg Stanton first announced plans in 2016.
Innovation districts are geographic areas that cluster together innovative people, companies and leading anchor institutions in urban areas. These collaborative environments, emerging in cities across the U.S., bring together startups, business incubators, accelerators, entrepreneurs, universities, and the like, to cultivate economic development and foster innovation and job creation. Innovation districts can play a major role in increasing a city’s competitiveness.
