For over 20 years, the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation has analyzed Colorado's economic rankings to see how we compare to other leading states. The Toward a More Competitive Colorado event will provide an overview of the findings from our latest research and feature a panel of experts to discuss economic growth and development in Colorado. Attendees will gain insider knowledge and understanding of what makes Colorado competitive to states across the nation and learn how this data can be used to shape the future of our region.
