Oregon is one of the nation’s most dynamic states for good reason. Long a leader on popular sustainability initiatives, Oregon’s green ethos attracts forward-thinking companies in clean energy and other industries who find a smart, engaged workforce and unmatched quality of life.
A favorable business climate with generous financial programs and tax credits and a wide range of available state-certified, project-ready sites are just the beginning of a long list of reasons Oregon is attracting and retaining so many successful companies.
Oregon has long been known for its physical beauty and quality of life, as well as its natural resource-based industries. Oregon also has a long history of manufacturing intensity in primary and fabricated metals, transportation equipment, and electronic measurement instrumentation, with a "high-tech" sector going back to the 1940s - having roots in forest radio communications, military shipbuilding and precision forest products manufacturing. |
