Albuquerque Economic Development
(AED) is a private, non-profit membership organization
whose mission is to recruit business and industry
to generate quality job opportunities in the Albuquerque
metro area. AED serves as an umbrella organization
to promote investment in Bernalillo, Sandoval,
Torrance and Valencia counties. With support from
investors and allies in the public sector, AED
actively recruits those companies that will export
goods or services from New Mexico, thereby bringing
new investment dollars to the state. These economic
base jobs contribute to the area's economic growth,
development and diversification, thereby improving
the standard of living and opportunities within
the Albuquerque area.
