(MSU) The United States Economic Development Administration recently announced it’s awarding 41 million dollars in grant funding to a regional tech hub of which Montana State University is a founding member.
The grant is to Montana’s Headwaters Regional Technology and Innovation Hub, which is focused on the study of light technology and smart sensors, which are often used in things like no-contact thermometers or fingerprint recognition systems in smart phones.
MSU says the new 41 million dollar grant will go toward implementing projects that include creating technology testbeds in rugged terrain, precision agriculture and roadway settings.
