Montana Technology Innovation Partnership
Paving the Technology Path to Economic Development!
The MTIP Mission
Our mission is to help build the short-term benefits of technology research and development into the long-term rewards of economic development.
The Montana Technology Innovation Partnership (MTIP) is a Montana Department of Commerce initiative created to promote technology commercialization as a viable economic development strategy for the State of Montana.
Montana's support of small technology firms covers all sectors of Montana's burgeoning technology-business community, regardless of their involvement with SBIR and STTR. MTIP is driven by six targeted objectives:
- To continue offering technical assistance for SBIR and STTR proposals
- To emphasize commercialization as the ultimate success in technology research & developement
- To provide unique educational opportunities that specifcally target Montana technology interests
- To deliver results-oriented, commercialization-driven services to Montana's innovators
- To provide rapid access to appropriate innovation, business, financial, and university resources throughout the state and the nation
- To complement, not duplicate, the services of other service providers.
In 2007, MTIP evolved from Montana's SBIR Outreach Program's six years of successfully supporting Montana applicants to the Federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The purpose and scope of MTIP are both greater than the predecessor Outreach Program.
