Innovate Here 2025
A Celebration of Deep Tech in Montana
Stay tuned for updates about this year's event!
The Innovate Here Conference aims to bring together early-stage technology startups specializing in disruptive innovations in industries thriving in Montana and the Northern Rockies region. The conference is designed to provide a platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among entrepreneurs, researchers, support organizations, and industry experts.

Our Story
In 2024, we launched the inaugural Innovate Here conference to celebrate and highlight Montana's innovators and the people and programs that support them. We welcomed internationally renowned experts in Quantum technology, Bob Sutor, Clarice Aiello, and, our own, Krishna Rupavatharum. Montana small tech firms, SBIR program officers, Department of Defense leaders, private equity investors, and many of our partners and friends joined for this fully-virtual event to talk about opportunities, leverage connections, and participate in break-out sessions to learn more about America's Seed Fund, intellectual property and technology transfer, and finding DoD and government acquisition partners.
