Colorado Tech Weekly #345: A New Colorado CTO, A Cannabis-Tech Company Gets Bought and Alan Turing’s Stuff

Colorado Tech Weekly brings you the top 10 technology stories of the past week and the best upcoming local tech events every Monday morning (Unless Monday was a holiday. I hope you had a great Martin Luther King Jr. Day)!
It has become increasingly hard for me to sum up a week of Colorado tech headlines into one headline. It’s great! There is so many diverse ways that tech is being used in Colorado! I am also very curious about how Alan Turing’s belongings got to Colorado.
Have a great week!
