Inspiring local
innovation and ingenuity

The eidotech project is a regional innovation cluster of the Small Business Administration, operated by Shadow Ridge Analytics. We help Montana companies in the quantum, photonics, and smart sensing space grow their ideas from concept to end product.

Our Mission

“Eido” is the Greek word for “visible form” or “shape,” often meant to represent the outward appearance of an idea. Our mission with the eidotech project is to help our clients shape and form their dreams into tangible products and services that will bring economic prosperity and fulfillment throughout the community.

As a regional innovation cluster, we connect companies to manufacturers, funding sources and other resources needed to drive innovation and success. Our vision is to see economic and technological growth in Montana through a thriving smart sensing industry.
