Colorado has released a new report that (not surprrisingly)supports the proposition that Colorado is one of the leading technology states. Read more.
One problem, though: After a little digging, I was unable easily to find the report.
The lesson: if you are going to pump a report, make sure it is easily available. (The web site of the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade needs a little work. The site promises "new & Improved site navigation system coming Summer 2005".)

Some Background on EDPro Weblog

There are no experts any more. The only place to learn about economic development is from other EDPros who are doing it.
One other point: the prevaling approach (paradigm, if you like) in economic development is shifting from competition to collaboration. There are a lot of reaasons underlying this shift, but here's the important insight: You, your community, and your region will do better by collaborating and sharing information.
