GO! > Future-Ready Or Not?

What makes a city well-equipped for the future?
And which communities are getting it right?  
Apparently, not one city in Arizona made the list compiled by Dell and IHS Economics during a week-long series of engagements that celebrate the amazing things their customers are doing.

25 cities on the list are all over the country, which tells us success is no longer just about location. It’s about embracing strengths and important opportunities in entrepreneurship, education and technology infrastructure. And by looking at these cities and their attributes, other cities – and even businesses and leaders – can create policies and strategies that will enable their region and people to prosper and achieve strong economic health.

They collectively identified the three pillars of a Future Ready Economy:

1. Human capital, or people equipped with the right skills to drive meaningful social and economic change;
2. Infrastructure that is prepared to support the people, businesses and technology needed to drive growth and change; and
3. Commerce or sustainable business opportunities to continue improving entire economies for years to come.
