Letter from the chair

Our city has a rich and storied history of innovation and entrepreneurship. Building on this spirit is essential to ensuring the ongoing economic strength of the region.

To harness this spirit and foster economic growth in the region, the Oklahoma Innovation Institute was established. It provides programs that facilitate the growth of collaborative research and development, entrepreneurship, company creation and retention, life-long learning and creative, future-oriented thinking in areas critical to a vibrant region.

These objectives are driven by private sector, government and philanthropic partnerships.

When fully developed, the Institute and affiliated organizations will have 5-year regional goals of attracting $100 million in federal grants, filing 120 patents, providing 40 commercial opportunities (license and start-ups), serving 250 growth companies of all stages, impacting the job growth and retention of 10,000-15,000 jobs, attracting $200 million of capital to the region and supporting strong collaboration of more than 50 scientists across a number of research institutions.

Tulsa is capable of shaping its own best future through the efforts of a creative, energetic, diverse and highly motivated citizen base. Thanks to the efforts of more than 250 citizens, we are well on our way to make Tulsa a national leader in innovative thinking and action.

Sincerely,

Barry M. Davis, Chairman
Oklahoma Innovation Institute
