Fostering Innovation in Government.
Creating Startup Companies.
Empowering Citizens.
Citizens, government and technology collide to solve state government challenges by finding innovative ways to leverage technology and support the tech startup sector in our state. Anyone can issue a challenge to be solved with technology and Oklahoma’s technologists and entrepreneurs respond. Through partnerships with OCAST, i2E and OMES these great ideas can be turned into winning new startup companies that have the ability to reshape how state government works while growing new businesses that provide high tech jobs.
