It assists businesses and entrepreneurs across three core areas—facilitating company relocation for outside groups, advising scalable startups from concept to potential exit, and helping local traded-sector companies expand through access to suppliers, workforce, permitting, and incentives. By strengthening key industries such as advanced manufacturing, brewing and distilling, bioscience and medical devices, outdoor recreation and apparel, and high technology, EDCO aims to diversify the regional economy and create durable middle-class job opportunities. Based in Bend, Oregon, EDCO operates as a regional organization with offices in multiple Central Oregon communities, and it serves a broad set of employers and early-stage ventures within the region. As a nonprofit, it positions itself as a resource and conduit for regional data, incentives, talent, and strategic guidance, supporting members through referrals, networking events, and sponsorship opportunities. A recent development noted is EDCO’s ongoing involvement in regional innovation initiatives and community events, reflecting its role in fostering local entrepreneurship and collaboration.
