About
The Colorado Business Roundtable, and its affiliate Colorado Business Roundtable Partners, are non-partisan nonprofits comprised of executives from some of the state’s largest employers working to strengthen Colorado’s economic vitality. Colorado Business Roundtable engages with elected leaders, business and nonprofit leaders, and other strategic allies to improve the business climate in our state by amplifying the voice of business in Colorado. Business is a force for good, and we’re dedicated to telling that story.
It’s easy to forget that Colorado businesses aren’t buildings, they are people—business owners, employees, suppliers, investors—that make up the foundation of our economic success. When business succeeds, people succeed, and Colorado succeeds. This shared success, an interconnectivity, is critical to keep all four corners of Colorado economically vibrant.
The Colorado Business Roundtable works with our media partners to tell the story that business is good through podcasts, radio spotlights, news publications and television to highlight Colorado businesses, business leaders and influencers around relevant and timely business topics.
The Colorado Business Roundtable works to improve the business climate in our state by unapologetically amplifying the voice of business.
We’re here to tell your story.

The Colorado Business Roundtable connects me with other leading Colorado businesses and strategic partners so I can be more effective advancing IBM’s interests on important issues such as workforce development, K-12 education reform, business and education partnerships. COBRT hosts signature events with top national CEOs and also provides more informal collaboration with elected leaders around specific policy that help drive our business mission. The Colorado Business Roundtable promotes technical innovation and purpose, which aligns well with our important role in the community.
Our COBRT partnership is one of the ways that we keep our faculty and staff aligned with the educational needs of industry, as a means of maintaining our relevancy toward the workforce needs of the future.
