PHOENIX, AZ (February 13, 2026) – Tech talks at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. STEM pitches in Yuma. A sunrise hike at Phoenix Mountain preserve. An AI discussion in Cottonwood’s wine country; patient-centered health discussions in Tucson.

These experiences—and more—are being featured at the inaugural Arizona Tech Week, taking place April 6-12, 2026.

The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) announced the launch of the highly anticipated event calendar, featuring over 100 events statewide.

Arizona Tech Week will convene innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, influencers, and industry leaders to foster collaboration and connection, showcasing Arizona’s leadership as a global innovation hub. Arizona Tech Week is supported by Platinum Sponsors Honeywell Aerospace and IdealabAZ, and Gold Sponsor Western Alliance Bank.

“Arizona Tech Week is an incredible milestone in our state’s innovation journey. From TED-style talks and robotics demos to AI-powered factory tours and pitch competitions, this week will showcase the very best of Arizona’s tech ecosystem,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We’re excited to partner with so many amazing organizations to create an unforgettable experience and can’t wait to welcome innovators from around the world to experience Arizona’s momentum first-hand.”

“The most interesting innovation rarely happens where everyone expects it—it happens at the edges, in unexpected places like Flagstaff. We’re standing on the ground where Pluto was discovered, and today we’re home to a genesis of innovation in bioengineering, space technologies, and sustainability,” said Scott Hathcock, President & CEO, Moonshot. “If you’re only looking at traditional hubs, you’re missing the future. Some of it is being built right here, at altitude. That’s why we’re so thrilled that Arizona has created AZ Tech Week—an event that allows us to showcase our innovation with an ‘altitude.’”

“AZ Tech Week highlights Yuma County’s role as a place where innovation is tested and proven in the real world,” said Jerry Cabrera, President and CEO, Elevate Southwest. “As a regional test bed for technologies spanning agriculture to aerospace and defense, Elevate Southwest is proud to connect that innovation to workforce opportunities and help position our community as a driver of Arizona’s technology future.”

“Show Low is a beautiful small town with a very business forward attitude,” said Rich Chanick, Associate Vice President of External Relations, Northland Pioneer College. “We are excited to participate in Arizona Tech Week with an event that involves our entire town. We look forward to showing Arizona Tech Week attendees what we have to offer.”
