At 5,280 feet above sea level, Denver is often referred to as the “mile high city.” It’s also known for a variety of growing and established industries, due in part to strong public and private sector partnerships and a highly educated workforce. In addition to energy, information technology, bioscience and financial services, the Denver area includes aerospace contractors Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, headquarters for 10 Fortune 500 companies, and service by 30 commercial airlines.

Situated at the base of the majestic Rocky Mountains, Denver offers plenty of sunshine and year-round recreation, from skiing and hiking to fishing and golf. In addition to the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, a national funding model, Denver’s vibrant cultural scene features opera, museums and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. And as home to the Denver Broncos, Rockies, Avalanche and Nuggets, it’s a true sports mecca.
