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.

Can't wait to share our next adventure into the technologies driving Montana Innovation. Come Innovate Here!
