Fuel the next phase of Colorado's economy

As Colorado’s largest, private economic development organization, we unite 250 of Colorado’s most influential companies with our partners to leverage the power of our collective expertise in corporate attraction and retention; workforce development; domestic and global marketing; investments in infrastructure; and public policy that promotes a pro-business climate.

Our investors leverage our data, intel and insight to strengthen their own companies. They help lead the transformational projects that make Metro Denver a world-class region. They help determine our priorities - including our organizational strategy, policy engagement, and decisions around regional growth. And ultimately, they play a key role in making our community an even better place to live and work.

What kind of transformational projects? Think the Amazon HQ2 proposal. VF Corporation's new global headquarters. The Union Station redevelopment. New nonstop air service to domestic and global destinations. Bringing professional baseball to the region. FastTracks, Denver International Airport. The Colorado Convention Center. These are all projects our investors have helped to identify, lead and execute. And this kind of important work begins with a role on our boards and committees.

The Metro Denver EDC Executive Committee: The decisions made by the Metro Denver EDC's Executive Committee have a direct impact on defining economic development projects. The Executive Committee plays a lead role in strategic and international, as well as regional growth. It works to identify and select international flights, and it oversees the funding for the regional projects our team takes on.

Metro Denver EDC Board of Governors: The Metro Denver EDC's Board of Governors are committed to ensuring our region grows and prospers. With ample networking opportunities, members are part of bi-monthly conversations about attracting and retaining employers, supporting major industries and engaging on industry specific coalitions working to solve challenges and strengthen our economy.
