Phoenix Global Forum 2026 Spotlights Innovation, Investment and Growth

The 3rd annual Phoenix Global Forum 2026 brought together business leaders, innovators, government officials, and global organizations in Phoenix, Arizona on May 12–13, 2026.

Global Chamber® is an original supporter of the forum and was pleased to be a collaborating partner for the good work by Mayor Kate Gallego, Phoenix Sister Cities, and the City of Phoenix in the areas of innovation, trade, investment, and global partnerships.

The forum explored emerging industries shaping the future, including AI, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, aerospace, autonomous mobility, quantum computing, sustainability, and the space economy. Attendees also experienced firsthand why Phoenix continues to attract global attention as a fast-growing hub for technology, investment, and economic development.

Throughout the event, leaders connected across industries and regions to discuss opportunities for trade, exports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and international collaboration. CEO Doug Bruhnke participated with Global Chamber Phoenix Advisory Board Chair Eduardo Gonzalez.

The forum featured world-class speakers, networking opportunities, and conversations focused on the future of AI and innovation. Community leaders, entrepreneurs, and global business executives joined together to strengthen partnerships and support the continued growth of the Phoenix region.

Global Chamber® leaders, members, and advisors from Phoenix, Tucson, and beyond participated in the event, continuing to build connections across the global business community.

As Phoenix continues rising as a center for global business and innovation, the Phoenix Global Forum remains an important platform for connecting regional opportunities with international markets.
