PROMOTING RESEARCH. ENGAGING LEADERS. DRIVING PROGRESS.

At CO-LABS, we connect technologists, businesses, and thought leaders to turn discoveries into real-world solutions that improve lives, keep Americans safe, and shape the future.

Together, we’ve made Colorado the go-to destination for solving the planet’s most critical challenges—from national security to public health to energy generation to food production and beyond.

It’s our efforts in collaboration that makes it possible for Colorado’s innovators to become global technology leaders. Working together ensures Colorado maintains its advantage in local jobs, national security and economic leadership.

Co-Labs' core mission remains to accelerate and enhance the scientific and economic impact of advanced technologies in Colorado. We work towards that goal in three ways:

Promote Colorado as a hub for world-class research and innovation.
Educate the public and policymakers about the impact of federally driven science.
Connect labs, universities, and businesses to drive innovation, technology, and jobs.

And we’ve done so with great success. A CU-Boulder Leeds School of Business study* found that Colorado labs support over 17,000 jobs and contribute more than $2.6 billion to the state economy.

Established in 2007, CO-LABS is a scientific non-profit that is funded through membership and event sponsorship. The CO-LABS consortium includes Colorado federal research laboratories, research universities, state and local governments, economic development organizations, private businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Colorado’s research laboratories are often called upon to help solve state, national, and global issues. CO-LABS works to organize research and development expertise within Colorado to impact state-of-the-art scientific knowledge and solutions to difficult societal challenges.
