Altia, an international leader in GUI design and development tools, today announced it has been named a winner of the prestigious Colorado Companies to Watch competition for 2020. The annual program, co-created by the Colorado Office of Economic Development in 2009, honors Colorado’s most innovative, visionary second-stage entrepreneurial businesses that also contribute significantly to job growth in the state.

Founded in 1991, Altia maintains offices in Detroit, Germany, South Korea and Japan. The company moved into new corporate headquarters offices at the Plaza of the Rockies in downtown Colorado Springs earlier this year.
