About
The Northeast Colorado Manufacturing Partnership (NECOM) is a collaboration of manufacturing leaders, educators, and community partners who are passionate about building the future of our region. We believe manufacturing is the backbone of Northeast Colorado’s economy — driving innovation, creating opportunity, and shaping strong communities.

-
Strengthen Industry Connections: Create opportunities for collaboration and growth through networking events, business-to-business programs, and regional initiatives that connect companies across the manufacturing ecosystem.
-
Advance Manufacturing in Northeast Colorado: Through our programs, events, and communications, NECOM promotes innovation, shares best practices, and strengthens the foundation of manufacturing in our communities.
