Few places on earth have the history and cultural diversity of Santa Fe. Native American culture has existed in the state for more than 2,500 years. Coupled with tradition, we are well-known for art, opera, cuisine, and year- round sports.

An emerging tech community is unfolding rapidly, focused on data science, healthcare, and cleantech. Examples include Descartes Labs, Flow Science, Pebble Labs, and Falling Colors. New Mexico has a supportive environment for technology commercialization with two national laboratories, three research universities, and many nonprofit research institutions.

The natural beauty and outdoor adventures are evident from Ski Santa Fe to the Taos Skill Valley, from Sandia Peak to Hyde State Park, from Chaco Canyon to Bandelier National Monument, and this is just a start. From our natural beauty, creativity springs with companies like Meow Wolf leading the way.

For entrepreneurs, Santa Fe and New Mexico provide the right mix to launch, refresh, and scale a new venture for profit and purpose!
