Arizona Companies to Watch honors high-performing second-stage companies from across the state for their achievements and contributions to the region’s economy. These companies are the pride of Arizona, demonstrating outstanding performance in the marketplace or exhibiting innovative products or processes. The Arizona Companies to Watch awards are presented by the Arizona Small Business Association in collaboration with the Edward Lowe Foundation.

Arizona Companies to Watch is unlike other awards. Because it focuses on the entire state and not specific industries, Arizona Companies to Watch provides an opportunity to paint a realistic picture of a true statewide economy. Since applicants are evaluated on more than growth, the award includes companies that fly below the radar – those not often recognized for the critical differences they make in their industry, their region and their state. All told, the businesses that comprise Arizona Companies to Watch tell a compelling story about the region’s economy.
