MSU TechLink receives federal grant to help high-tech companies

Montana State University’s TechLink Center has been awarded a federal grant to expand its assistance to technology-related businesses across Montana.

The U.S. Small Business Administration announced on Aug. 29 that it had awarded a Federal and State Technology (FAST) Partnership Program grant for $125,000 to fund the Montana Innovation Partnership (MTIP) program managed by TechLink.

Montana is one of just 24 states to receive a FAST grant for the upcoming federal fiscal year. Grants are awarded through a competitive application process. Montana has received this grant in six of the past eight years.

"This program helps entrepreneurs and small tech companies compete for vital early-stage seed capital for innovative technologies with commercial potential," said Will Swearingen, executive director of TechLink. "Simply put, this grant will help us grow Montana’s technology sector."
