Greater Oklahoma City Chamber

What Greater Oklahoma City Chamber does

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber (legally organized as the Greater Oklahoma City Partnership) is a private non-profit business membership and regional economic development organization founded in 1970 (firmographic) and re-established under its current Partnership structure around 2016, headquartered at 123 Park Avenue, Oklahoma City. It serves as the primary economic development convener for the 10-county Greater Oklahoma City region, with a 1.59 million population base and a regional workforce of 773,000. Its core products and services are organized around four functions: (1) corporate attraction and business relocation/expansion support, including site selection and incentive negotiation; (2) workforce development, led by the OKC Federation for Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) program and college/CareerTech pipelines; (3) data and property intelligence, delivered through the OKC Data Center and OKCEDIS property locator platforms; and (4) small business and entrepreneurship support via Launch Metro OKC. The organization operates sub-brands including VeloCity OKC (digital magazine), OKC Data Center, OKCEDIS, Launch Metro OKC, and OKC FAME, and targets key industry clusters of aviation and aerospace (290+ firms), bioscience ($4.1B annual revenues), energy, logistics, film and creative industries, and shared services.

The organization's revenue model is non-profit and not publicly disclosed; it is funded through membership dues, event fees, and public-private partnerships with regional employers, municipalities, and government entities. It does not charge transactional fees for its core economic development services. Its go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement with corporate decision-makers and site selectors, supplemented by content marketing (VELOCITY, greaterokc.tv, case studies, data center) and dedicated international business services for foreign investors. The Chamber does not sell technology products; its platforms (OKCEDIS, OKC Data Center) are lead-generation and decision-support tools for the regional economic development mission. The organization is governed by a board of regional business leaders and is not a subsidiary of any parent entity.
