On the COIN Website they have a great survey of the "Innovation Index" of Colorado:. Here is a quick blurb and a link below you can use to download the PDF File:
The Innovation Index gives Colorado a true measure of the state’s industry-driven and overall innovation progress. The Index evaluates innovation in Colorado across four categories – ideas, talent, capital and entrepreneurship. Moving forward, the annual index will help us continue to educate businesses, investors, researchers, policymakers and others about the state’s innovation activity.
