Arrowhead Center was created by New Mexico State University (NMSU) to be an engine for sustainable economic development, ultimately improving the quality of life for all New Mexicans. Arrowhead Center is accomplishing this by collaboratively facilitating the creation of an innovation‐driven economy, where New Mexico’s ability to convert ideas into marketable technologies, faster and better than the competition, will determine the pace of the state’s economic growth. Generating ideas in bulk and leaving commercialization to chance is not sufficient to spur innovation. To accelerate our innovation economy, Arrowhead Center brokers the constant interplay between those in the market in search of solutions, innovative researchers, savvy entrepreneurs, eager students, educated employees, advanced facilities, and effective public/private partnerships. We are equipped to leverage innovation as an ongoing mechanism for promoting new business development and the job growth that goes with it.
Arrowhead Center serves as a single portal to link the researchers and entrepreneurs with ideas for how to solve market problems and take advantage of market opportunities that will keep New Mexico on the leading edge of discovery and sustainable economic growth. We help researchers turn scientific discovery into intellectual property. We offer services to enable entrepreneurs to turn these new, researcher developed technologies into viable businesses. We manage a 200‐plus acre state‐of‐the‐art Business and Research Park for these new technology start‐ups to locate amongst other established businesses driven by the discovery of new knowledge and technologies. These businesses in turn hire well‐educated employees in high‐paying positions.
NMSU is laying the foundation for discovery and innovation in fields ranging from unmanned aircraft systems to alternative energy, and through our state network of universities and national laboratories, Arrowhead Center is connected to some of the best ideas and practices emerging throughout the nation. We aim to grow new technology companies, retain and expand the ones we have, attract still others from elsewhere, forge actionable alliances, broaden partnerships, and provide systematic, continuous and adequate assistance to the actors of our innovation economy. We hope you join us in our mission.
