A Competitive Conversation: The Mountain West – Pioneering Climate Resilience & Quantum Innovation
March 30 - April 1

Join Elevate Quantum, the CO-WY Engine, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the University of Colorado, and the University of Wyoming for the latest edition of the Council on Competitiveness’ Competitiveness Conversations Across America series: “The Mountain West—Pioneering Climate Resilience & Quantum Innovation.” This event will be held at the St. Julien Hotel & Spa in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, from March 30 to April 1.
Engage with leaders from across Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico—stretching along the I-25 innovation corridor—as they uncover the region’s rapid ascent as an innovation powerhouse and global leader in sustainability and quantum technology. The Mountain West is a vibrant hub for collaboration among industry, academia, national laboratories, and government entities, all working together to implement quantum technologies and develop solutions for a more sustainable future.
At the Mountain West Competitiveness Conversation, you will uncover how these two fields are converging to drive innovation at an unprecedented pace and scale. And learn how the burgeoning innovation ecosystem of these three states — featuring a growing talent pool, significant investments in technology and infrastructure, and new partnerships — are tackling society’s most pressing challenges while delivering greater prosperity for Mountain West citizens. Insights from this conversation will also help shape a national dialogue on innovation and place-making through the Council’s National Commission on Innovation and Competitiveness Frontiers.
