About Business Oregon
Oregon's diverse landscape, people, and culture can provide something for everyone. You can surf on the Oregon coast, wade its tide pools, and enjoy the bounty of Dungeness crab. Oregon's Willamette Valley is home to the finest Pinot Noir vineyards, and incredible rivers and public gardens. The Greater Portland area has a small-town feel with international corporate headquarters. As the commercial center of the state, it has an engaging urban environment providing arts and culture attractions year-round. The high desert of central Oregon is a beautiful natural attraction, with snow sports drawing travelers in the winter and incredible golf and hiking in the summer. Eastern Oregon provides both wide-open spaces and incredible mountains and lakes, as well as cutting edge agriculture, clean technology, and targeted tech opportunities like unmanned aerial systems.
