Who We Are

Colorado Business Roundtable (COBRT) is a coalition of CEOs and top executives from business, academia, community, and government who connect, collaborate, and influence solutions to Colorado’s biggest economic challenges.

COBRT Partners represent diverse business interests, political viewpoints, and philosophies, but they share one commitment: preserving a high quality of life for all Coloradans by building a robust, globally competitive economy.

Beyond providing valuable products and services, our partners create career opportunities, generate tax revenue that funds community services, and give generously of their time and resources to strengthen Colorado’s communities.

A Broader Perspective

COBRT brings a state, federal, and global lens to every issue we take on, focusing on the long-term, structural challenges that will shape Colorado’s future rather than the headlines of the moment.

As the state affiliate of the national Business Roundtable, COBRT represents Colorado’s anchor employers and gives partners direct access to the people shaping policy.

Business is a Force for Good

Colorado has a proud history of opportunity, one built on rich natural resources, rugged open frontiers, and a spirit of entrepreneurship as much a part of our identity as the Rocky Mountains.

Colorado’s strategic location and generations of innovative businesses have helped build the thriving economy we know today. That same drive and shared vision of a prosperous Colorado is what unites COBRT’s partners around a simple belief: Business is a Force for Good.
