The
Downtown Denver Partnership honored local coworking standout and tech startup hub
Galvanize and
Denver Startup Week among its six winners at the 52nd annual Downtown Denver Awards Dinner on May 29. Other winners include the
Boettcher Foundation, the Denver Police Department's
Denver Crime Laboratory,
Metropolitan State University of Denver Hotel and Hospitality Learning Center and the
University of Colorado Business School.
"These six award winners are setting an incredible example of city building," says Tami Door, President and CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership. "They have all taken the initiative to move their ideas forward and bring them to fruition, and in turn, they make out center city thrive."
A jury selected the winners for the awards to recognize the people, businesses, projects and initiatives that have had the biggest impact on downtown Denver in the last year. This year's class of winners share an innovation-oriented bent.
Denver Startup Week was commended as "the most successful inaugural startup event in the nation, connecting and engaging more than 3,500 startup members at more than 70-community driven events." Galvanize was singled out for "transforming a historic building into a collaborative workspace utilizing capital, community and curriculum."
