Denver’s economy is expanding, with the annual change in the metro’s gross metropolitan product (GMP) expected to reach 3.8 percent this year. Retail sales rose an estimated 4.4 percent last year, above the national average growth. The area benefits from its position as a regional business and government hub. The state capitol is located in Denver, and the metro is home to nine Fortune 500 firms. Key drivers of the region’s economy include aerospace, bioscience, energy, financial services, healthcare, aviation, information technology and software development, and telecommunications. There are more than 400 aerospace companies and suppliers in the metro. Defense-related manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin and Raytheon also have significant operations in the metro. Supporting these sectors is a highly educated workforce and a base of companies that serve as a magnet for startups, as Denver is often recognized as fertile ground for entrepreneurs
