Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology (OCAST)

OCAST is a state agency tasked with leading Oklahoma’s technology-based economic development efforts, supporting the efforts of start-ups and entrepreneurs to transform promising innovations from concepts into commercial products.

OCAST provides early-stage funding that enables Oklahomans to develop their ideas so that national foundations, private investors and federal agencies take notice – giving them sometimes millions of dollars to move their ideas to the marketplace.
