An Atmosphere in Which Big Ideas Thrive
Aerospace and aviation innovation have deep roots in Colorado, and the Northern Colorado area is instrumental in propelling sustainable growth in this industry. The region is home to major aerospace research and manufacturing employers that support civil, commercial and military needs. In addition to providing residence to some of the largest aerospace companies in the country, Colorado is also home to a robust system of U.S. Department of Defense institutions that play an essential role in the collaboration between the government and private sector. With two regional airports, Denver International Airport one hour away and world-class manufacturing facilities, aviation also plays a large role in this industry’s success.
