Nevada is
Open for
Business
The Nevada Strategic Growth Initiative drives the state's economic future through targeted education, advocacy, and engagement — creating high-paying jobs in industries that align with Nevada's resources, workforce, and future.
I'm pleased to announce the creation of the Nevada Strategic Growth Initiative, a privately funded organization dedicated to a shared vision of helping improve the quality of life for all Nevadans through the creation of new high-paying jobs in industries that align with our resources, workforce, and future. Nevada is open for business, and the Nevada Strategic Growth Initiative is a critical component of our plan to show the world that there is no better place than Nevada to start and grow a business.
An Independent Platform for Nevada's Growth
The Nevada Strategic Growth Initiative (NSGI) is a dynamic 501(c)(6) organization designed to provide the Governor with a powerful, independent platform for economic development that operates outside the traditional structure of state government. This unique framework allows Nevada to facilitate high-impact business transactions, unlock transformative opportunities, and advance initiatives that go beyond the conventional reach of government programs.
By bringing together a broad coalition of economic development groups, the Initiative creates a unified force capable of driving meaningful trade missions and fostering collaborative strategies to accelerate Nevada's economic growth.
Our Focus Areas
Economic Diversification
Expanding Nevada's economy beyond gaming and tourism into technology, healthcare, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
Nevada is more than casinos and hotels — and NSGI is proving it. We're actively recruiting businesses in healthcare, technology, manufacturing, and logistics to build an economy that doesn't depend on a single industry. Nevada's best days aren't behind us; they're being built right now.
Coalition Building
Uniting economic development organizations across Nevada into a single, unified platform for a stronger collective voice.
No single organization changes a state's economy alone. NSGI unites the Governor's Office, regional development agencies, chambers of commerce, labor groups, and private sector leaders under one shared mission. When Nevada speaks with one voice, the world listens.
Trade Missions
Facilitating high-impact international business transactions that exceed the conventional reach of state government programs.
Nevada is open for business — and we're taking that message global. NSGI operates outside the traditional structure of state government, giving us the agility to pursue high-impact deals and partnerships that open new doors for Nevada businesses. We don't wait for opportunity. We create it.
Targeted Education
Delivering compelling narratives about Nevada's business climate to investors, executives, and partners worldwide.
Good decisions start with good information. Through events like the annual Elements of Change: Lithium & Strategic Minerals Forum, NSGI brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to tackle the issues shaping Nevada's future. We turn conversations into action.
Business Advocacy
Championing pro-growth policies and telling Nevada's story through strategic media engagement and stakeholder outreach.
Nevada's businesses deserve a champion. NSGI works directly with policymakers to cut red tape, attract investment, and create the conditions where businesses can start, grow, and stay. A stronger business environment means more jobs and more opportunity for every Nevadan.
Economic Opportunity
Improving quality of life for all Nevadans by attracting investment aligned with the state's resources, workforce, and future.
Growth means nothing if it doesn't reach people. From the 1,000+ jobs coming to Thacker Pass to expanding healthcare and tech industries statewide, NSGI is focused on creating high-paying careers that lift up Nevada families. Rising tides raise all boats — and we're committed to raising the tide.
