A military and space operations center at the foot of Pikes Peak, home to Peterson and Schriever Space Force bases, Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, NORAD and the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Colorado Springs.
Defense and space operations dominate: Peterson and Schriever Space Force bases host satellite operations and space command units, NORAD and U.S. Northern Command are based at Peterson, and Fort Carson hosts large Army units. These installations support a wide base of defense contractors, cybersecurity firms and engineering services. Health care, tourism tied to Pikes Peak and the mountains, and the national governing bodies of Olympic sports add civilian employment.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Colorado Springs management teams.
Defense and space contractors need cleared staff, secure facilities and compliance with federal cybersecurity rules such as CMMC, and their revenue rises and falls with budget decisions and basing changes. Many firms were founded by veterans and built around a few contract vehicles, and now need broader commercial capability. Housing costs and water constraints limit how fast companies can add headcount locally.
