Denver Technological Center, better known as The Denver Tech Center or DTC, is a business and economic trading center located in Colorado in the southeastern portion of the Denver Metropolitan Area, within portions of the cities of Denver and Greenwood Village. It is home to several major businesses and corporations. The DTC roughly corresponds to the area surrounding the I-25 corridor between I-225 and SH-88 (Arapahoe Road).

History
Skyline of the Denver Tech Center.
The DTC was established in the early 1970s, and cable companies United Cablevision, United Artists Cable, and later AT&T Broadband, all had their start in, and still have major infrastructure around, the Denver Tech Center. In the Colorado area, Bill Daniels and John C. Malone were early adopters who shepherded many standards in cable technology still used today.
The Denver Tech Center was a major reason for Denver Regional Council of Governments's expansion of the T-REX expansion into the Denver Technological Center.[1]
