Government Programs and Subsidies Available to ACEC Members in the AI Supply Chain & Data Center Infrastructure Buildout

The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is driving one of the largest investment cycles in modern history, and a variety of public-sector programs have been established to support economic growth, private investment, and critical infrastructure development. Many ACEC Arizona members are already participating in projects that may intersect with these opportunities but are often unaware of the full range of programs, incentives, and funding mechanisms that can apply to their work. As a result, firms frequently leave significant value unrealized. This session explores the broader incentive landscape surrounding AI infrastructure and highlights why understanding available opportunities has become an increasingly important part of project planning, business strategy, and long-term growth.
