PinDrop's participation in Az Tech Week reflects a growing recognition that innovation doesn’t only happen in big cities, it also thrives in rural communities, on factory floors, and through hands-on manufacturing rooted in purpose.
What Is Az Tech Week and the Arizona Commerce Authority?
Arizona Tech Week is an annual, decentralized series of events designed to showcase Arizona’s innovation ecosystem across regions, industries, and communities. Rather than being confined to a single venue or city, Az Tech Week invites organizations statewide to host events that highlight entrepreneurship, emerging technology, innvoation, and economic growth.
The event is organized by the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA), the state’s lead economic development organization. The ACA works to attract, grow, and retain businesses while advancing innovation, workforce development, and sustainable economic opportunity across Arizona. Through initiatives like Arizona Tech Week, the ACA amplifies the stories of companies and entrepreneurs building the state’s future.
A Week Focused on Innovation, Technology, and Industry Across Arizona
Az Tech Week exists to shine a light on the intersection of technology, innovation, and industry. From software and space sciences to manufacturing, clean energy, and advanced design. The decentralized format allows companies of all sizes and locations to participate, reinforcing that innovation is happening everywhere across the state.
For PinDrop®, this focus aligns naturally with our company and the brand. Operating at the crossroads of advanced manufacturing, sustainable design, and outdoor recreation, we design and build a product that integrates innovative solar power, eco-conscious materials, and thoughtful engineering into a compact, luxury micro camper made in rural America.
PinDrop® as a Moonshot Entrepreneur and Statewide Innovator
PinDrop’s inclusion in Arizona Tech Week is also tied to our recognition as a Moonshot Entrepreneur, including being named a the Moonshot Pitch Competition state-wide winner in 2023 , a program that supports high-growth, impact-driven founders across Arizona. In addition, PinDrop® was honored as a finalist in the “Hottest Thing Made in Arizona” competition hosted by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
These distinctions underscore PinDrop’s role as a rural manufacturing company pushing boundaries—proving that world-class products, clean technology, and forward-thinking business models can be built in small towns and historic communities.
Pin Drop trailers are designed, fabricated, and assembled in Miami, Arizona, combining luxury craftsmanship with solar-powered systems, eco-friendly design principles, and durable construction meant for modern exploration. Participation in Arizona Tech Week highlights how manufacturing innovation remains a critical part of Arizona’s technology landscape.
