OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell represented the state last week at Taiwan Expo USA 2025, hosted by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council in Dallas, Texas. The three-day event, held August 14–16, featured 80 Taiwanese companies exploring opportunities to expand into the U.S. market.

Lt. Governor Pinnell met with company leaders throughout the expo to highlight Oklahoma’s business-friendly environment, central location, and strong workforce pipeline with a goal to recruit new Taiwanese investment to the state.

“Oklahoma is well-positioned to be the entry point for international companies looking to expand into the United States,” Pinnell said. “We have a proven track record of supporting global businesses, and I am proud to represent the state and share why Oklahoma should be their top choice.”

Oklahoma has long maintained a strong relationship with Taiwan, one of the state’s key international partners. Earlier this year, the Oklahoma Legislature passed Senate Bill 209, establishing the Taiwan Regional Trade Office under the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, further strengthening economic and cultural ties. The office will serve as a key resource to promote trade and economic development between Oklahoma and Taiwan by connecting Oklahoma-based businesses with new international opportunities.
