The Office of Transformation & Opportunity


The Office of Transformation & Opportunity’s mission is to make PA the most business-friendly state in the U.S.

OTO will proactively engage and empower business leaders, innovators, local communities, and state agencies to reignite economic growth and promote prosperity throughout the Commonwealth. By coordinating across state agencies, OTO will strengthen the Commonwealth’s competitiveness and develop our strategy to nurture innovative industries that will drive growth now and into the future.

There is now a new way to do business in PA.

“Pennsylvania needs a government that works more quickly, one that is able to figure out a way to get to yes.”

Governor Josh Shapiro
