Why Montana for Bioscience
Innovation is in Montana’s nature. Rooted in wide-open spaces and a culture of research and resilience, our bioscience ecosystem is powered by world-class universities, industry-leading grant success, and sustained investment.
World-Class Research
Montana ranks among the nation’s top research states per capita. More than half of all academic research here is bioscience-related, supported by NIH Level IV lab capabilities and over a century of infectious disease expertise at Rocky Mountain Labs.
Where Innovation Wins
Montana leads the nation in NIH SBIR/STTR success, earning funding at unmatched rates. Nearly $40 million in NIH support in 2023 and major private investment in vaccine manufacturing reflect national confidence in Montana’s bioscience sector.
Fueling Montana’s Future
Montana ranks among the nation’s top research states per capita. More than half of all academic research here is bioscience-related, supported by NIH Level IV lab capabilities and over a century of infectious disease expertise at Rocky Mountain Labs.

Big Sky Science Center
Set in the vibrant MSU Innovation Campus in Bozeman, Montana, this project features two modern buildings dedicated to flexible lab and research and development, aiming to boost the campus’ role in technology and scientific innovations. Bozeman is home to the Center for Biofilm Engineering (CBE), a world-recognized transdisciplinary bio-research center, over 1,300 clinical trials at sites such as the Billings Clinic and has one of the lightest tax burdens in the country. The MSU Innovation Campus is in Montana’s Headwaters Tech Hub, with far-reaching applications for life sciences, photonics, autonomous vehicles, precision agriculture, and defense, evolving into a destination for innovation.
