The Montana SBIR Outreach Program is Changing its Name to the Montana Technology Innovation Partnership (MTIP)

Building on the Montana SBIR Outreach Program’s past six years of successfully supporting Montana applicants to the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer programs (STTR), MTIP has emerged with a broader purpose. The state’s support of small technology firms is expanded to ALL sectors of Montana’s burgeoning technology-business community, regardless of their involvement with SBIR and STTR.

MTIP’s services are still provided at no cost to you and will include guidance in the following areas:

* Continuing to provide counseling for businesses pursuing SBIR and STTR grants

* Identifying and assessing other potential funding opportunities

* Coaching in proposal development and submission

* In-depth assistance in understanding the complex issues involving intellectual property

* Assistance with detailed commercialization planning, including an understanding of the market research needed to support the proposed commercialization approach

* Identifying and assessing sources of technologies available for licensing
