AZAdvances

AZAdvances is an initiative created with support from AZBio to advance health innovation in Arizona within the Opportunity Through Entrepreneurship Foundation (OTEF).

AZAdvances programs focus on

  • supporting the advancement of Arizona discoveries into development;
  • commercialization path ways so discoveries can become treatments and cures;
  • providing students with opportunities for connections, internships, and scholarships so that they can explore careers in this exciting field and we can create a long-term talent base in Arizona.

AZAdvances leverages the experience and expertise of leading organizations, decades of data, and a 3-year best practices study. The creation of AZAdvances by OTEF and  AZBio is thanks to support from a grant from the  U.S. Economic Development Administration, an agency in the United States Department of Commerce and a growing community of AZAdvances supporters.
