Colorado–Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine (Colorado and Wyoming), led by Rocky Mountain Innovation Initiative Inc. (doing business as Innosphere Ventures), aims to advance the region's research and commercialization efforts focused on sensing, monitoring and predictive analytic technologies focused on achieving higher attainment levels in community resiliency spanning natural hazard preparedness and response, soil health and productivity, and water quality and availability.
This is a map showing the region of service for the Colorado-Wyoming Climate Resilience Engine, which includes the entire states of Colorado and Wyoming.
Region of service: Colorado and Wyoming (entire states).
Competitive advantage: The states of Colorado and Wyoming have borne the brunt of decades of natural disaster emergencies, from unprecedented wildfires to devastating droughts and heatwaves. Meanwhile, the region has a robust startup ecosystem and research capacity in its universities, Federal and federally funded labs, and deep expertise in fields and technologies central to community resiliency, including advanced sensing and data fusion, translational data analytics, and resilience decision support. Colorado and Wyoming's governors have made this NSF Engine's success and the subsequent community resilience capabilities a major part of their agenda. As resilience becomes an increasingly critical global industry, the CO-WY region is poised to become a national and global leader in this emerging industry.
