Aurora Economic Development Council

Aurora Economic Development Council
Aurora is where the action is. Our strengths are numerous: abundant land for development, a pro-business environment, and opportunities for solid industry growth especially bioscience, aerospace and defense, and renewable energy. We are home to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the Fitzsimons Life Science District; Buckley Air Force Base; Front Range Airport; the nation’s largest solar energy research park; the E-470, I-225 and I-70 corridors; and adjacent to one of the top airports in the country, Denver International Airport. Aurora is leading the state in new economic development opportunities.

A partnership between business and government for more than three decades, the Aurora Economic Development Council champions Colorado’s most promising growth industries including aerospace and defense, bioscience, transportation logistics and energy, positioning Aurora and Colorado to win new jobs in an intensely competitive market. We create new primary jobs through innovative deal creation, strategic partnerships, and by advocating for economically sustainable public policy. The Aurora Economic Development Council is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(6) corporation comprised of the leading 100 companies in the Aurora/Denver metro area, the city of Aurora, and Adams and Arapahoe Counties.

A-List, Colorado’s premier business event of the metro area bringing together 2,000 regional business and political leaders to celebrate the economic successes of the region, is produced by the Aurora Economic Development Council. Accelerate Colorado, the only statewide advocacy partnership between business and local governments that works with the U.S. Congress and key federal leadership on issues critical to the state’s economic development, top industries and business community and conducts an annual business mission to Washington, D.C., is an affiliate of the Aurora Economic Development Council.
