The company pointed to Denver’s quality of life, potential for collaboration with higher education institutions and “a state and national regulatory environment more conducive to advancing the development of space resources” as reasons it selected the state. “As Colorado’s technology and aerospace industries continue to boom, we are thrilled to welcome innovative companies like Karman+ to Denver, one mile closer to space,” Polis said in a statement. “I believe Colorado is the best place to live, work and do business and this is clear as more companies choose to move or grow here.”
