Business Oregon (Oregon Business Development Department)

Supports Oregon innovation and business expansion through research matching grants, tax incentives, and regional accelerator networks.

Business Oregon (Oregon Business Development Department) is Oregon's state economic development agency. Its core role is to support innovation, business expansion, regional development, and trade promotion in the state.

The organization is associated with programs such as Oregon InC (Innovation Commercialization), Oregon RAIN (Regional Accelerator and Innovation Networks), the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center, the Strategic Reserve Fund, and international trade and investment support. It also certifies eligibility for state tax-incentive pathways including the Oregon R&D Tax Credit, Enterprise Zone benefits, and the Strategic Investment Program.

In Oregon's funding landscape, filings and credit administration for these incentives are handled through the Oregon Department of Revenue. For businesses, Business Oregon is most useful as a coordinated state support route rather than a single standalone grant instrument.
