The Tulsa Metro Chamber's Economic Development organization is the regional contact for new and expanding businesses.
Services include:
BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION
Eighty-eight percent of new jobs are created by the region's existing businesses. The Business Retention and Expansion program assists Tulsa-area companies with overcoming barriers to growth, leveraging expansion opportunities, workforce issues and other business needs.
BUSINESS ATTRACTION MARKETING
Tulsa balances convenience, affordability and a great quality of life with a talented workforce, a central U.S. location and a pro-business atmosphere. External marketing efforts tout these attributes to key corporations and global site location experts to recruit new companies to the region.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND SMALL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Eighty-two percent of all Tulsa-area businesses have fewer than 10 employees. Economic development efforts focus on cultivating entrepreneurs, marketing available small business resources, and expanding opportunities to more diverse constituencies.
EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE ATTRACTION
The Chamber engages the business community to positively impact the community's K-12 and higher education systems. Additionally, the Chamber optimizes the region's talent recruitment efforts through key business partnerships, ChooseTulsaJobs.com and Tulsa's Young Professionals.
ADVOCACY AND OUTREACH
The Chamber builds consensus with regional partners on priority issues and effectively influences state, federal and local legislation.
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
Recognizing downtown as a key economic generator, the Chamber facilitates development in downtown areas including the Brady District, Greenwood District and ONEOK Field, near the BOK Center and other pockets inside the Inner Dispersal Loop.
