$41 million awarded to fund Montana's new Tech Hub
==========
The U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded $41 million in funding to Headwaters Hub, the Montana-based Tech Hub. Headwaters Hub, headed by Accelerate Montana, focuses on smart photonic sensor systems. The funding is meant to tackle five projects, including supporting final-stage testing of technologies, building the region's photonics sector, and establishing structured pathways for engagement. The designated area for the Headwaters Hub includes Bozeman, Missoula, Kalispell, and Butte-Silver Bow. The funding is part of a larger round of approximately $504 million in implementation grants awarded to 12 Tech Hubs across the United States. The Tech Hubs Program is a flagship initiative of President Biden's Administration to invest in and grow economies in communities, advance America's global leadership in critical technologies, and strengthen national and economic security. The Tech Hubs were designated in October 2023, and the funding amounts for each hub will be finalized in the coming months.
