Colorado Reports
2011 Interim Report on Green Jobs in the Colorado Economy by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, Office of labor Market Information, in association with the Business Research Division in the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The Colorado Cleantech Cluster Analysis is the first truly comprehensive econometric study of the cleantech industry in the state. Evenson & Associates, who conducted the study on behalf of CORE, reviewed hundreds of documents and reports on the development of cleantech in Colorado and several other states, received nearly 400 completed online surveys, and interviewed 55 executives from organizations operating in the Colorado cleantech industry. This list is not limited to only cleantech companies but also support organizations such as investors, research institutions, universities and other organizations interested in this emerging industry. The final report identifies a ten-point action plan for enhancing the prospects of the Colorado cleantech industry and examines a number of critical issues and challenges that will affect the industry's growth and progress.
