OK Commerce Launches New Trade Program to Empower Rural Oklahoma Companies

The Oklahoma Department of Commerce has just launched its next step in supporting existing businesses in rural Oklahoma. “Global Opportunities Oklahoma” or GO Oklahoma is a visionary program aimed at empowering rural companies to access the diverse markets of Asia, Europe, and the Canada-Mexico trade corridor.

For rural Oklahoma companies, this program represents a golden opportunity to access the global stage. By facilitating trade in Asia, Europe, and the Canada-Mexico corridor, rural businesses can benefit by diversifying their customer base, expanding their global presence, and increasing their revenue and profitability.

This 12-month pilot program offers a range of essential services tailored to the unique needs of Oklahoma businesses including Market Research, Export Development Plans, Matchmaking Services and Trade Missions.  Eligibility requirements mirror those required for participation in the STEP grant. There is no cost to the business to apply for this program.
