Saguaro Robotics Founder Named Regional Entrepreneur of the Year

The announcement is the latest sign of momentum for Tucson's business community, which has drawn growing attention from investors across the Southwest.

"This is something our community has been asking for, and we're glad to finally see it come together," said Rachel Wilson, board chair in Tucson.

The company now employs roughly 33 people across its Arizona operations, with plans to keep hiring if growth holds through next year. Leadership says Tucson's talent pipeline was a deciding factor in choosing to expand locally rather than out of state.

"We're proud of what this means for Tucson and the people who live here." — Rachel Wilson

Company leadership says an update on hiring and expansion plans is expected before the end of the year.
