This Challenge (similar to historical Go Code Colorado) is all about developing insights and solutions that address key Colorado business issues. Teams compete to integrate Colorado’s public data into tools and analytics useful for business decision-makers in Colorado. Competitors can compete in either Analytics or Application tracks for cash awards.
Teams may leverage the proposals published as part of the Business Opportunities Challenge to develop their solution or submit an original idea.
- Business Analytics Track – In the Analytics Track, use public data to provide useful insights and recommendations to benefit Colorado’s non-profit and for-profit businesses. An example could be but is not limited to a data story, visualization, white paper.
- Business Application Track – In the Application Track, create market-relevant applications or tools using public data to provide solutions for Colorado’s non-profit and for-profit businesses. An example submission could be but is not limited to a mobile or web application.
