Thanks for attending Wind Commerce 2009: the Future is Now!

Wind Commerce 2009 detailed for our businesses and manufacturers the many opportunities involved with supplying the domestic and global wind markets.

With wind industry manufacturers from China, Denmark, India, and Spain poised to spend billions, the United States stands to become the world's largest component manufacturer. And with its resilient advanced manufacturing sector, Oklahoma can expect to capture a significant share of those orders.

Wind Commerce 2009 outlined for our communities ways to market their assets and implement incentives attractive to wind power developers and manufacturers.

Wind Commerce 20009 brought together our workforce, education, and training professionals to explore best practices, share ideas, and understand the business opportunities involved with the wind industry. By doing so, they can develop a highly skilled workforce ready for this emerging sector.

The Oklahoma Department of Commerce wants to thank all of our Wind Commerce 2009 attendees and wishes you success as you continue to develop the customer, supplier and partner relationships that may have started during Wind Commerce. Commerce also wants to thank the Oklahoma Business Roundtable and the Governor's Economic Development Team for their continued support as well as our many sponsors and exhibitors who made this conference possible.
