While you were out boating, camping, traveling and just enjoyng the sun you may have missed Colorado State University and its startup companies. According to the Coloradoan many companies have been very busy this summer creating jobs for Northern Colorado. What does this mean for Fort Collins Real Estate?

Abound Solar is a prime example of how CSU startups create jobs in Colorado. The company recently doubled its reliability lab and corporate office space at Centerra in Loveland, adding 50 new jobs in 2011.

Abound, which spun out of CSU in 2007, makes low-cost thin-film solar energy modules at its manufacturing facility in Weld County and employs more than 350 people in the region. In total, it plans to add up to 500 new employees through its expansion of its Colorado and Indiana activities over the next two years.

Additionally, two of CSU’s most prominent solar scientists, Professors W.S. Sampath and Jim Sites, recently received $2.5 million from the National Science Foundation and Abound Solar to reduce the cost of solar-powered electricity.

Numerica obtains a second NASA contract. Even though NASA’s space shuttle program has ended, CSU spinoff company, Numerica Corp., will play a key role in the future of the nation’s space exploration. The Loveland based research and development company was awarded a two-year, $600,000 Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract to help improve flight mission design for NASA.

The contract announcement is the second NASA contract awarded to Numerica, resulting in $1.2 million coming to a primary employer in the Northern Colorado economy helping Fort Collins Real Estate.

Aubrey Poore, former CSU professor, is Numerica’s founder, chief scientist, and CEO. The origin of the company is a perfect example of how a research university and industry can work together to advance and apply scientific knowledge.
