Why Oregon?
Everybody loves Oregon. We're that gorgeous green state above California filled with trees and free thinkers. You come here to explore. To see where the trail ends. You come here for the pristine beaches and mountains. You visit here to escape your hectic world, finally to unwind and then rejuvenate. You come to Oregon for vitality. The thing is, when you're here, you realize this is exactly how you imagine the good life to be, so when it's time for you to leave, you kind of feel like you're leaving your home. And you want to come back.

What if you planted your business here? Your family? Your life?

Innovation
Oregon is filled with diverse industries powered by like-minded companies who want to lead the way, and do. That's why Oregon's largest demographic is the young creative set. The 21- to 35-year-old forward thinkers who are educated and skilled enough to work anywhere in the country, but they choose Oregon.

Our ports and transportation of goods are streamlined for leading efficiency. Oregon's tax system also favors you. There's no sales tax, inventory tax, state business or occupations tax. Energy costs also are low, up to 50 percent lower than those of our southern neighbor. In fact, Oregon is in the lowest 25 percent of overall business costs in the nation. So thriving here isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
