Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority - A letter from Tony Knowles To stay in top working condition, most tools have to be cared for, cleaned and maintained. Treat them poorly and they donŐt work well. That principle holds just as true for the tools used to diversify and strengthen AlaskaŐs economy. And one of the best tools in our economic tool box is the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority. Over the past decade, AIDEA has produced nearly 3,000 jobs in all areas of our state. AIDEA-financed projects now in the works are expected to generate another 1,000 jobs over the next two years.
