S Small Business Administration and the Montana Department of Commerce offers no-cost services to help Montana innovators and entrepreneurs learn about and compete for over $4 billion in federal research and development funding under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs.
We assist with activities related to successfully participating in these programs such as proposal reviews, intellectual property guidance, commercialization planning, and referrals. The Montana Technology Innovation Partnership program was established by the Montana Department of Commerce in 1999 to support technology-based economic development.
In August 2018, the management of the MTIP program transitioned to Montana State University’s TechLink Center. We are driven to help Montana’s tech-based entrepreneurs and innovators secure vital seed funding for their ground-breaking technologies. We work with individuals and small businesses engaged in research and development (R&D) of truly innovative technologies or products.
We are also focused on helping women-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, and rural tech companies to successfully compete for SBIR/STTR capital.
Our core objectives are: To offer technical assistance for SBIR and STTR proposals To assist businesses in securing seed capital for research and development To provide educational opportunities that target Montana’s technology-based businesses and service providers To identify and guide businesses to appropriate local and national resources – technical, business, financial or university To deliver result-oriented services to help technology-based businesses achieve personal commercialization goals To complement, not duplicate, the services of other service providers "Montana is full of entrepreneurs and full of people with great ideas.
They just don’t necessarily know how to get going and how to make themselves successful. Groups like MTIP can really be instrumental in facilitating them taking that first step towards realizing the potential of their ideas." "The SBIR program is important because it helps companies develop novel technologies that are of interest to the company and use to government agencies."
"MTIP was my only help on my first grant which would have been too much to tackle on my own in the timeframe required. Without the SBIR, I would have had to take a job and not been able to start my company and explore this technology."

Together they map the office's bet on where U.S. semiconductor advantage gets reasserted — and which small businesses get to ride along.
