About Colorado Hub for Health Impact

Colorado Hub for Health Impact is a national economic development campaign that positions Colorado as America’s epicenter for life sciences innovation. The campaign attracts life sciences companies, talent, and investment to Colorado.

Each component of the campaign is designed to equip company founders, site selectors, decision-makers, and investors with the insights and inspiration needed to choose Colorado. Start with our Resource Guide and connect with our relocation experts.

More than 30 life sciences organizations, state and regional economic development groups, local governments, developers, and builders have supported the campaign since inception. It is led by Colorado BioScience Association. Together, the partners are making a strategic investment in Colorado’s continued ascent as the Hub for Health Impact.

Colorado is a hub for life sciences research and collaboration. Our state is a Top 20 globally ranked life sciences research and development (R&D) hub, according to CBRE. Colorado’s reputation for top life sciences talent, leading academic and research institutions, and an outstanding quality of life make our state an outstanding choice to build a life sciences company and career.

The campaign showcases six critical factors that set Colorado apart for life sciences relocation or expansion. Each factor is detailed on our website for company decision-makers: Talent + Inclusivity; Capital + Growth; Location + Real Estate; Lifestyle + Culture; Community + Infrastructure; and Costs + Incentives.

It’s a practical, downloadable guide for companies and investors: talent pipelines, capital landscape, locations and lab space context, quality of life, community and infrastructure, and costs and incentives. It also includes a contact form to reach economic development and relocation experts.
