Solution Provider Opportunities

The Connective is a public-private partnership consortium which brings together twenty-two cities and towns, Maricopa County, Arizona State University, Maricopa Community College District, regional utility providers, regional planning civic institutions, and private industry technology providers to create the Greater PHX Smart Region. Collectively, the Connective is focused on identifying, developing, and testing innovative technology solutions which improve the quality of life for all within the Region, and providing the collaborative framework for implementing proven solutions at scale.

The Connective is seeking new technology solutions which support the Core Regional Goals of:

• Improving Quality of Life
• Driving Equity across the Region
• Enhancing Revenue
• Promoting Sustainability and Resilience
• Supporting Regional Economic Competitiveness

While all potential innovative solutions are welcome, the Connective communities have identified the following five Priority Impact Categories, which are of particular interest in the Greater PHX Region:

• Circular Economy & Recycling:How might we utilize technology to leverage regional policies and assets to extract the maximum value from previously consumed resources to develop new sustainable models which reduce our carbon footprint while deriving new sources of revenue and / or cost savings?
• Digital Equity & Service Delivery:How might we utilize technology to provide better and more reliable access to digital and social services for disadvantaged, disparate, and underserved communities to combat homelessness and the growing digital divide?
• Public Safety & Resiliency:How might we utilize technology to better prepare, inform, and respond to large- and small-scale emergency situations, while providing safe and secure communities and events for all residents and visitors of the Region?
• Transportation & Mobility:How might we utilize technology to optimize the flow of people and goods across the region to reduce congestion, ensure a safe arrival at the final destination, and create a comfortable and efficient journey for all?
• Innovation in Government:How might we utilize technology to drive efficiencies in local government to enable more informed decision making, optimize resources, develop innovative revenue streams and cost savings initiatives, and provide better more sustainable services across the Region?

Please fill out the following form to help us understand how your proposed solution can help the Connective and our Member Communities deliver impactful outcomes for all within the Greater Phoenix Smart Region.

Proposals will be assessed by the Connective Member Communities based on the potential impact of the solution as it relates to the Regional Core Goals and Priority Impact Categories, and the existing needs of our communities.
