6. CULTIVATE INNOVATION
AND TECHNOLOGY
A state of independent thinkers, Colorado is
a natural fit with startups and fast-growing
companies.
• Colorado has 24 federal laboratories, one of the highest
concentrations of federally funded science and research
centers in the nation. Employing 7,964 scientists and
engineers and generating a more than $1.5 billion annual
economic impact to the region, these federal labs have
contributed greatly to the evolution of Metro Denver’s
high-tech industries. The labs also stimulate significant tech
transfer opportunities among higher educational and area
companies in critical areas such as climate research, space
science, and renewable energy development.
(Source: MetroDenver.org)
• Launched in 2011, the Colorado Innovation Network (COIN)
aims to connect innovation leaders and inventors to solutions
and ideas through which they can foster new technology
development.
• The inaugural Denver Startup Week in 2012 showcased
the region’s entrepreneurial community. It featured 70 events
and 4,000 people in attendance.
Entrepreneurial spirit, perhaps founded
in our pioneer roots and nourished
by the Rocky Mountain experience,
is a core competency in our business
environment.
• Colorado is among the top 10 states
for entrepreneurship and innovation.
(Source: U.S. Chamber of Commerce 2012)
• Colorado is ranked 5th in entrepreneurial activity.
(Source: 2011 Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity)
A hotbed of entrepreneurial activity, the state also draws major
corporate regional offices by virtue of its central location and
extensive infrastructure. These are some of the companies doing
business in the state.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
“I’ve come to think of
Boulder as my laboratory
for thinking about startup
communities.... Boulder’s
entrepreneurial density,
combined with the
geographic concentration
of entrepreneurial activity
around the Boulder
downtown core, makes
downtown Boulder a hotbed
of startup activity.”
From Startup Communities: Building an
Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City
- Brad Feld
“Colorado has a vast
network of assets including
world class research
institutions and federal
labs, universities, innovative
companies, and a highly
educated workforce.
Aligning, leveraging and
integrating these assets
around opportunities to grow
the advanced industries
will establish Colorado as
a global competitor and
technology hub, and turn
Colorado’s basic research
strengths into viable
companies that remain here.”
- Ken Lund, Executive Director,
Colorado Office of Economic
Development and International Trade

The sampling of recent achievements below illustrate the state’s momentum and progress toward becoming the nation’s premier location for the Technology and Information industries. 2: RECRUIT, GROW AND RETAIN BUSINESS Colorado enjoys a healthy mix of startups, mid-size, satellite offices for large firms with HQs outside of Colorado and large firms. • Colorado has the eighth-best economic outlook in the nation. (Source: 2012 ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index) • Denver and Boulder ranked ninth in USA Toda’s 2012 “Top 10 Cities for Technology Start-ups”. (Source: USA Today 2012) • Colorado ranked fifth overall on Forbes’ 2012 “Best States for Business and Careers” list.

(Source: The Tax Foundation) • Legislation adopted in 2012 provides for economic growth and new job creation. HB 12-1029, the “Save Colorado Jobs Act,” creates incentives for companies looking to relocate to or expand in Colorado. Public-Private Partnership The Colorado Technology Association is aligned with the Governor’s Office of Information Technology as well as the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade to drive Colorado’s Blueprint for economic development. This public-private partnership is coordinated through the virtual Industry Collaboration Office. Initiatives are organized through a framework of six core objectives to provide line of sight to the 14 key industries and regions in the state to identify job growth inhibitors and create meaningful partnerships to address these gaps quickly and effectively. 3. 3. INCREASE ACCESS TO CAPITAL More investment is needed to support the state’s vibrant entrepreneurial environment. • TechStars and Foundry have over $350 million to invest in start-ups. (Source: USAToday 8.24.12) • Rocky Mountain Venture Capital Association (RMVCA) reported 22 investments totaling $90.31 million in Q4 2012. • Colorado ranked third for 2011 venture capital investments per $1000 of GDP.

  • 3. 5. EDUCATE AND TRAIN THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE Colorado has a strong, highly educated workforce, focused on growing in STEM related disciplines. • Metro Denver ranked first among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas for total population gain in the 25- to 34- year age group between 2008 and 2010, according to the Brookings Institution. (2012) • The nine-county region ranked 10th out of the 50 largest metro areas in software employment concentration in 2012.

CREATE AND MARKET A STRONGER COLORADO BRAND Colorado is widely recognized as a great place to live and do business. • In 2013, the Governor unveiled an effort to broadly rebrand Colorado to attract more tourists, talented professionals and business. The program, called brandCO, seeks to outperform the nation in net job growth and attract out-of- state talent. • Boulder is the nation’s most creative city, according to a recent ranking by news website The Daily Beast (2012) based on data from The Rise of the Creative Class. • Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine ranked Denver among the top five “Best Cities for Young Adults.” Contributors identified “best” cities as those that have strong employment growth, a highly educated and tech-savvy population, and a reasonable cost of living.

CULTIVATE INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY A state of independent thinkers, Colorado is a natural fit with startups and fast-growing companies. • Colorado has 24 federal laboratories, one of the highest concentrations of federally funded science and research centers in the nation. Employing 7,964 scientists and engineers and generating a more than $1.5 billion annual economic impact to the region, these federal labs have contributed greatly to the evolution of Metro Denver’s high-tech industries.

(Source: U.S. Chamber of Commerce 2012) • Colorado is ranked 5th in entrepreneurial activity. (Source: 2011 Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity) A hotbed of entrepreneurial activity, the state also draws major corporate regional offices by virtue of its central location and extensive infrastructure. These are some of the companies doing business in the state. Entrepreneurial Spirit “I’ve come to think of Boulder as my laboratory for thinking about startup communities.... Boulder’s entrepreneurial density, combined with the geographic concentration of entrepreneurial activity around the Boulder downtown core, makes downtown Boulder a hotbed of startup activity.” From Startup Communities: Building an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Your City - Brad Feld “Colorado has a vast network of assets including world class research institutions and federal labs, universities, innovative companies, and a highly educated workforce. Aligning, leveraging and integrating these assets around opportunities to grow the advanced industries will establish Colorado as a global competitor and technology hub, and turn Colorado’s basic research strengths into viable companies that remain here.” - Ken Lund, Executive Director, Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade 216 16th Street Suite 850 Denver, CO 80202 Ph: 303-592-4070 coloradotechnology.org Doing business in Colorado • AccuCode • Alcatel-Lucent • Arrow Electronics • Aspenware • AT&T • Avaya • BI incorporated • Brocade • CenturyLink • Cisco Systems • Comcast Business Class • CommVault • Confio Software • Datavail • DigitalGlobe • DirecTV • DISH Network • EffectiveUI • EchoStar • Four Winds Interactive • FullContact • Google • Green House Data • Hitachi Data Systems • HOSTING • Hughes Cloud Services • IBM • IHS Inc. • Integro • Intelligent Software Solutions • Istonish • iTriage • Kovarus • Latisys • Level 3 Communications • Liberty Media Corporation • Lockheed Martin • MapQuest • Mercury Payment Systems • Microsoft • Motivity Solutions • Neudesic • NewsGator • Oracle • Otterbox • Pearson eCollege • Ping Identity • Pivotal Labs • Quantix • Pivotal Labs • Rally Software • Raytheon • ReadyTalk • Reed Group • Ricoh • Rivet Software • Sanmina • Seagate • SendGrid • ServiceNow • SpectraLogic • Statera • Swiftpage • T-Mobile • TeleTech • Using Miles • TrackVia • Verizon • ViaWest • Votigo • Wayin • Webroot Software • Zayo Sponsored by:
