About Silicon Flatirons

What We Do

Silicon Flatirons is a center for innovation at the University of Colorado Boulder serving students, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and professionals at the intersection of law, policy, and technology. We create productive collisions and spark tomorrow’s thinking with intellectually honest programming and community engagement.

Through papers, conferences, roundtables, and a series of other events—along with providing valuable opportunities for students—we propel the future of technology policy, drive innovation, and develop the professionals ready to lead what’s next. Our home is at Colorado Law, and we partner with the school on many programs and offerings.
