Tulsa, Oklahoma Feb 26, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Oklahoma’s reputation as a leader in innovation and economic resilience is gaining momentum, thanks in part to advocates like Patrick Delehanty. A veteran, engineer, and founder of multiple businesses, Delehanty is leveraging the state’s supportive business environment to drive growth in sectors such as federal contracting, land development, advanced manufacturing, and luxury home construction.
“Oklahoma’s affordability, central location, and business incentives make it the perfect place for entrepreneurs to thrive,” says Delehanty, who leads ventures including Delco Holdings, LLC, and Villa Homes. “This state has the tools and the talent—it’s up to us to build something great.”
Delehanty highlights Oklahoma’s low tax rates, affordable land, and growing technological infrastructure as key drivers of his success. He credits partnerships with institutions like Oklahoma State University, his alma mater, for fostering a culture of innovation through research and collaboration.
Statistics bolster Delehanty’s message: Oklahoma has seen a 26% increase in small business growth since 2015, and its tech sector contributes $7 billion annually to the state’s economy. This growth is underscored by the state’s focus on industries like aerospace, engineering, and software development.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Delehanty’s engineering firm pivoted to produce personal protective equipment (PPE), generating $30 million in revenue while maintaining a 100% delivery rate. “It showed how adaptable Oklahoma businesses can be in meeting critical demands,” he explains.
Looking to the future, Delehanty advocates for continued investment in education and workforce development. “Attracting top-tier talent is essential, and we can achieve that by equipping our local workforce with the skills needed to support Oklahoma’s tech and business ambitions,” he notes.
By combining innovation with sustainability, Delehanty aims to align his projects with Oklahoma’s push toward environmentally responsible business practices. His luxury home developments incorporate energy-efficient technologies, while his federal contracting work emphasizes cutting-edge solutions for defense and infrastructure.
Patrick Delehanty’s story is a testament to Oklahoma’s potential as a national leader in business and technology. For entrepreneurs and established businesses, his journey provides both inspiration and a roadmap for success in the state’s dynamic economic landscape.
