Our Purpose

The Oklahoma Commercialization Network, OCN, exists to serve as the front door for entrepreneurs across Oklahoma, offering an approachable entry point into the state’s growing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Initiated and powered by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST), OCN aims to be the central hub where tech startups and scalable businesses can access the resources, expertise, and connections they need to thrive, from concept to funding. OCAST’s mission is to enhance and diversify Oklahoma's economy, and to create new and improved job opportunities in alignment with OCN.

What This Is

OCN is a statewide partnership powered by OCAST that centralizes the strengths of Oklahoma's leading entrepreneurial support organizations led by i2E, in partnership with Gradient, The Verge, and REI Oklahoma, in collaboration with 25 other organizations. This suite of resources provides a collaborative experience for entrepreneurs, offering everything from workspace and mentoring to pitch preparation and connections to potential funders and investors.

Who this is for

OCN is designed for all Oklahoma-based startups, with an emphasis on tech-driven and scalable ventures. Whether you are a rural entrepreneur or an innovator in the heart of Tulsa or OKC, OCN is your gateway to the tools and support needed to scale.

The Benefit

Entrepreneurs often face the frustration of not knowing where to go and not understanding the full scope of resources that are available to them. Oklahoma Commercialization Network, powered by OCAST, eliminates this problem by providing a single, cohesive hub where founders can find the right resources at the right time. This unified approach ensures that every entrepreneur has a clear pathway from concept to commercialization, without the hassle of navigating multiple systems.

The Oklahoma Commercialization Network powered by OCAST, in collaboration with i2E, Gradient, The Verge, and REI Oklahoma, is your gateway to innovation and success. We are here to transform your tech-based ideas into thriving businesses.
