Oklahoma Department of Commerce

As the Governor’s lead agency for economic and workforce development, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce is here to increase the quality and quantity of jobs in the state.  It is a valued partner with companies who are looking to relocate or expand here. 

There are many points the Department of Commerce emphasizes when promoting Oklahoma:

  • Oklahoma is dedicated to quality education for students of all ages and walks of life, with one of the best vocational training systems in the nation and hand-in-hand collaboration with companies to meet specific skill development needs. 
  • Oklahoma offers one of America’s most dynamic economic development incentive programs.  We are a pro-business state, with pro-business legislation, which includes options of training programs and tax and cash-back incentives. These are designed to encourage the establishment and expansion of businesses in Oklahoma, such as the Weather Sphere companies working in the state.
  • Oklahoma Commerce’s Fast Forward business location team will connect businesses, companies and people to all key information, contacts, agencies and community resources.  

When it comes to business expansion and relocation, we truly believe Oklahoma is a rising star.  Here, anything is possible.  And in this environment of success, we like to help others succeed, too.

“If you’re in the business of weather, I encourage you to explore the unique convergence of science, education and industry you’ll find here in Oklahoma.” - Brad Henry, Governor, State of Oklahoma
