DENVER - The Polis administration announced today that Edge R&D, a business intelligence, data management and technology solutions company, has selected Colorado to focus its expansion and growth for future talent/hires.
“Colorado is on a mission to grow our thriving technology sector with high-paying jobs by attracting new businesses and out-competing other states. Douglas County is a terrific place to do business with a great quality of life,” said Governor Jared Polis. “Edge R&D represents growth of this advanced industry and we are excited for their growth in Douglas County.”
Edge R&D, established in 2016, is a privately-owned Technology consulting partner that offers project services, managed services and staff augmentation.
