Montana Tech

Montana Technological University (Montana Tech) is a STEM‑focused public university in Butte with a hands‑on, industry‑oriented research culture. Engagement is anchored by an on‑campus Underground Mine Education Center and the co‑located Montana Bureau of Mines & Geology, plus fee‑for‑service testing and field services administered by the Research Office; workforce training is delivered through Highlands College. CAMP and CERA act as gateways for companies, enabling materials testing, environmental assessment, and collaborative R&D. Research portfolios are supported by competitive federal funding and partnerships with agencies such as the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Army’s DEVCOM laboratories, alongside state and industry contracts. A dedicated technology transfer function within the Research Office supports IP disclosure, NDAs/MTAs, and licensing to speed collaboration.
