Welcome to this first issue
of Montana Business &
Technology magazine http://www.MTbusinessandtechnology.com .

For most of our history, Montana’s
economic prosperity has been based
on agriculture and natural resources.
While these two sectors will continue
to support much of our future growth,
a new economy has been emerging
in the ‘last best.’

Driven by technological innovation, a new set of industries is beginning
to put Montana on the ‘technology’ map of the United States.
Companies in the biotech, life sciences, information technology,
aerospace and environmental sectors are becoming signifi cant
contributors to our state’s economy.
This publication is designed to highlight these changes in our
economy and to make our business community and citizens aware
of the breadth of the technology based businesses in Montana.
Our other goal is to make visitors to our state aware that there
are also business opportunities they can take advantage of here—
that Montana is more than just a place to fish, hunt and camp.

In future issues we will not only cover stories on our emerging
technology-based industries, but also about the way technology
is transforming agriculture and the natural resources sectors of
our local economies. We plan to write about the entrepreneurs
and business leaders throughout Montana who are changing our
state as well as the companies they are building and the products
they are producing.

Whether you live here or are just visiting us or “taking a look”,
we welcome your comments, suggestions and story ideas.
