Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10  technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local tech events every Monday morning!

This past week we got to see the future in Colorado! We have 3 headlines about innovative, cutting edge cybersecurity companies. We have 2 headlines about space technology being created here. Then we have an article about futuristic roadways that are starting to be created in Colorado AND the announcement of the new Sphero BOLT which is the kind of cool technology that motivates people to make even more technology. What’s not to love?

Speaking of the future, Denver Startup Week is next week and I’m excited to participate in my first Denver Startup Week! I’ve already gone through the events and chosen the ones that interest me, but now I need to figure out which events I can actually go to because I’m only one person.

Have a great week!
