Utah Elevated
The Utah of today is very different from the Utah of the past.
Since 1990, our population has more than doubled. We have led the nation in real GDP growth, social capital, and upward mobility, achieving the lowest poverty rate in the country. This kind of change presents opportunities and challenges.
Elevation is what we do about it.
We now aim to lead the nation in economic performance and quality of life. Our unified economic vision as a state is to be the place of unmatched opportunity and livability.
This is Utah Elevated.
A Framework for Success
Utah aims to lead the nation in economic performance and quality of life.
GOED advances this vision through three pillars — innovation, capital, and life quality — by aligning our strategies and actions with focus areas grounded in guiding principles and statewide collaboration.
The Utah Elevated plan flows from this data-driven, community-aligned foundation.
How Utah Elevated Operates
We leverage innovation, capital, and life quality — alongside an ecosystem of engaged partners, players, and stakeholders — to bring economic opportunities to Utahns. This includes opportunities both inside our state and from outside of it.
GOED acts as a convener, connector, and catalyzer within this system.
