How is GPEC different than a chamber?
GPEC is a partnership between the public and private sectors, created to attract new business into the region, while local chambers focus on retention and expansion of businesses already located in Greater Phoenix. The mission of business attraction charges GPEC with marketing the region nationally and internationally, along with improving the business climate to keep Greater Phoenix competitive with other regions for new business opportunities. GPEC often collaborates and partners with chambers on key business climate issues affecting the region.
