About
Oregon can lead the next era of AI.
We're a coalition of founders, operators, researchers, students, and civic partners who believe Oregon has the talent, values, and grit to shape AI for the better — and the responsibility to do so on our own terms.
Why now
AI is being defined this decade. Most of that definition is happening in a handful of zip codes. Oregon has world-class research, hardware roots, a creative software community, and tight-knit cities where new things actually get built. We don't need to copy anyone — we need to organize.
What we are
A private-sector, non-partisan coalition. We connect people building and applying AI in Oregon — across companies, campuses, and counties — and we invest our time in the things that move the ecosystem forward: talent pipelines, founder support, responsible deployment, and a clear voice for Oregon in national AI policy.
What we are not
We're not a government program, a lobbying shop, or a single company's project. We're builders who want Oregon to win, and we're inviting everyone who shares that goal to pull on the rope.
