Tucson truly is a city of opportunity for business. Its creative citizens boast a consistently high rate of entrepreneurship. The city's economic development effort, coordinated by the Greater Tucson Economic Council (GTEC), has been extremely successful in attracting new business and industries. Opportunities are abundant in the desert southwest for companies searching for an affordable, technology-oriented business center to expand or relocate to establish themselves for the 21st century.
