Scott Cuthbertson, a prominent Utah business leader and former President and CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah), has announced the launch of Alpen Associates, a boutique consulting firm pioneering innovative technology and strategies in the economic development industry.
Alpen Associates leverages extensive global experience and proprietary data and tools to help clients navigate complex challenges and drive meaningful outcomes. The firm offers a range of services, including management consulting, data analytics, market research, business recruitment, and strategic planning.
Alpen Associates emerges in response to the shifting landscape of economic development. Traditional methods are increasingly seen as insufficient in addressing the complexities of today’s global economy being disrupted by a rapidly shifting international trade order and advances in artificial intelligence.
“The old playbook of economic development is becoming obsolete,” said Cuthbertson. “Alpen Associates has pioneered new approaches that leverage artificial intelligence, proprietary data sets, and tailored solutions that drive tangible results for communities and businesses.”
By integrating technology and innovative methodologies, Alpen Associates aims to provide both public and private sector clients nationwide with the insights and strategies necessary to gain advantage in a highly competitive business environment.
