In 2018, the Aerospace Commerce Economic Services Program (ACES) was created within the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and in partnership with the Oklahoma Aeronautics Commission to support the growth of defense and aerospace industries in Oklahoma. In the five years since its formation, the program has seen much success and has been fundamental in the expansion of the defense and aerospace industries in our state.
According to City News Tulsa, the “ACES team at Commerce has assisted in spawning more than $1.6 billion in new capital investment through 52 project wins that resulted in more than 10,000 jobs.”
