Business Development Center - Mission, Objectives and Key Long Term Objective

Mission

The Metro Technology Centers - Business Development Center's mission is to prepare entrepreneur minded people for successful business by developing, promoting and protecting businesses in the greater Oklahoma City area and to support the advancement, education and economic growth of the community

The key objectives for the incubators are based on the principle of generating wealth and employment that facilitate reinvestment in the community through new and/or existing business. Therefore, the success of our business tenants/clients is the key. The Metro Technology Centers - Business Development Center will provide a state of the art business incubation that includes: counseling, administrative services and assistance, facilities, fiber optic internet access, training programs and other resources that promote the information and advancement of small business. The following objectives are cornerstones to BDC:

• Contribute to the economic development of the Oklahoma City area;
• Be a contributor for future employment growth;
• Provide a graduating scale for low cost facility rental;
• Promote diversification of new and innovative ideas;
• Provide technical, financial, business, and marketing support for business start-ups.

Our main objectives are based on the need to provide entrepreneurs the utmost level of support to ensure that business growth is feasible. It's important for the businesses to grow and to succeed. This is an intricate part of Metro Technology Centers - Business Development Center's success, as is business retention for those companies who succeed in becoming "a graduate" from the incubator program. Retention programs are focused on "graduated" clients who will be developed in a collaborative effort with the local community base.

The key long-term objective is to promote new businesses that will create new employment opportunities for the citizens in and around the Oklahoma City area. This will be realized through the development of innovation and exposing innovators to individuals in similar circumstances. This means developing relationships and strategic partners with those who enable entrepreneurship, including the local chambers of Oklahoma City, government agencies, local businesses and academia to maximize resources.

Formulating measurable objectives will be influential in assessing the incubators performance. The key measures will include: employment created by graduate businesses, number of business graduates, and growth in client sales.
