Colorado is leading in tech. Home to the 3rd-most-concentrated tech industry in the U.S. and 302,000+ jobs, our innovators are shaping the future. Tech drives 20% of our economy, adds $106B+ to GDP, and a new tech company launches every 72 hours.
I’m proud to proclaim March 18, 2026, as Colorado Tech Day—celebrating the entrepreneurs and workers powering innovation and our economy! #ColoradoTech.

The revocations troubled Angie Paccione, head of the @CoHigherEd
"We are very concerned about this creating a chilling effect on free speech on campus," Paccione said in a statement. "To our knowledge, none of these students committed any crimes, and if they have, we hope that information is shared with us. It breaks my heart to see college students targeted like this."
