Go Code Colorado, an initiative of the Secretary of State’s Business Intelligence Center (BIC) challenges participants to develop 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.
- Business Analytics Track – In the Analytics Track, teams use public data to provide valuable insights and recommendations to benefit Colorado’s businesses (both non-profit and for-profit). Examples of submissions include a data story, visualization, or white paper.
- Business Application Track – In the Application Track, competitors create market-relevant applications or tools using public data to provide solutions to Colorado’s businesses. Examples of submissions include a mobile or web application.
