# Colorado is Well-Positioned for Future Economic Growth

In our increasingly competitive, globalized marketplace, innovation and entrepreneurship are keys to economic success, not just nationally but in the states. Fortunately for Colorado, the state is well positioned to compete in this “New Economy,” evidenced by its sixth place ranking in ITIF’s State New Economy Index. SNEI ranks the states in terms of 25 indicators designed to project a state's ability to compete in a fast-moving, high-tech global economy.
