Colorado Springs has always been a city built by entrepreneurs and visionaries. From General Palmer’s bold decision to place the railroad east of Old Colorado City—laying the foundation for a thriving new community—to the groundbreaking experiments of Nikola Tesla, innovation has been part of our DNA from the very beginning. The Penrose family’s investments in health, hospitality, and the arts further shaped Colorado Springs into a hub of opportunity, resilience, and ambition. This session explores how these entrepreneurial roots, combined with our city’s culture of risk-taking and reinvention, continue to drive innovation, technology, and business growth today.
