TH ANNIVERSARY Civic Sponsorship 018 Colorado Companies to Watch (CCTW) takes the usual awards program and sets it free. Start with every influential player in the business community forward-thinking government agencies, dedicated private enterprises and their professionals, progressive not-for-profits and impactful community leaders.

Put them through a proven application and selection process, and voila. Cue your goose bumps. Colorado Companies to Watch is a unique statewide awards program recognizing growing companies that fuel the economic fire of the state. The Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade launched the program in 009 in conjunction with the Edward Lowe Foundation and valuable sponsors, key drivers, community and supporting partners, and volunteers from throughout the state of Colorado.
