Made in Montana is a business development program supports entrepreneurs, artists, producers, manufacturers, and makers who choose to make or grow a product in Montana.
Made in Montana connects members to resources and markets through events like the annual Made in Montana Trade Show for Food and Gifts, the online directory of members and products madeinmontanausa.com), grants offered by the ExportMontana program, and business trainings from Montana’s Small Business Development partners.
Made in Montana does not charge a fee to join the program, sustain membership, or participate in the online product directory.
