Great news! Boarders open again, and SIBB e.V. PointOut team is welcoming representatives from the US states visiting Berlin for business opportunities. Back in September, Conner Murphy, the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, has visited SIBB headquarters. Sides discussed the cooperation points between Berlin and the state of Colorado.

It was highlighted during the meeting that Technology & information in Colorado generated $28.2 B in output, 7.2% of the state GDP of $390 B in 2019. Given this industry’s share of national employment, this sized GDP should result in $18.7 B in tech & info output. According to the recent report on Crunchbase, Colorado today is a home to 584 tech firms with 689 in-state locations. Recent homegrown unicorns – Ibotta (mobile retails), Guild Education (EdTech), Evercommerce (service commerce platform) and Quantum Metric (continuous product design platform) have employed over 3100 full-time employees, and together with neighboring states Colorado benefits from recent relocations & secondary hubs.
