UA CED leverages the resources of the university system to support economic growth in Alaska. We provide technical assistance in the form of information and data, and implement projects and programs that promote economic development across the state. We are guided by our mission to promote economic diversity through entrepreneurship, community building, and action-oriented strategy.

Our work spans Alaska, from rural villages to urban cities. We welcome projects that provide the chance to learn more about our great state while working to advance economic opportunities for our fellow Alaskans. Our clients include government entities, corporations, tribal organizations, non-profits, and more.
