Welcome to oklahoma  venture forum

May is a month of celebration and recognition for the Oklahoma Venture Forum. As we mark our 35^th anniversary, our annual awards luncheon will help us continue our work of championing small business and economic development through connecting and recognizing venture talents. The nominations for both the Most Promising Venture and Venture of the Year awards showcased a tremendous depth of significant innovation possible in Oklahoma. The nominations were full of founders and organizations leading significant innovation that has the possibility to impact not only Oklahoma but the world.

The awards committee had the tough job of narrowing down the nominations to the finalist you will see recognized at the awards luncheon. Additionally, OVF is proud to honor OMRF as the recipient of the 2022 Award for Economic Impact.

As innovation and possibilities of entrepreneurship grow in Oklahoma, OVF is honored to partner with two significant organizations to recognize two new award categories. These include the Oklahoma Innovative Technology Association presenting their Entrepreneurial Champion Award and the Oklahoma Business Incubator Association presenting their Incubator Tenant Award. It is partnerships and collaborations such as these which assist our members in building a better community.

I invite you to join us for the annual awards luncheon and help us celebrate this year’s award winners. Our awards luncheon will be a great opportunity for our members and guests to celebrate the successes in entrepreneurship and innovation in Oklahoma. We look forward to seeing you at the OVF Annual Awards Ceremony.
