"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Schweitzer also is spending lots of time on the road both inside and outside the state trying to attract new business investment and capital to Montana.

“It is information-based technologies, it’s entertainment, it’s tourism, it’s alternative energies,” Schweitzer said. He met earlier this week with more wind operators looking to beef up wind power in the state, and he continues his push toward more use of bio-diesel and finding ways to convert coal to diesel.

“We have great opportunities in Montana,” Schweitzer said. “I’m trying to bring the investment capital together with the good ideas.”
