An Alliance of Ecosystem Partners
The foundational strength of the Headwaters Tech Hub lies in our Consortium. Our members include industry, government, academia, capital providers, and economic and workforce development organizations, from across Montana and beyond. While our members are diverse in focus, they all share an enthusiastic commitment to support the HTH in growing a globally leading technology ecosystem anchored in smart photonic sensing systems and their broad commercial applications.
Shared Principles of the HTH Consortium
Members of the HTH Consortium, commit to the following Shared Principles:
- Deep, cross-sector collaboration towards the shared HTH vision and strategic goals.
- Focus on technological innovation driven by industry with long-term support from key institutions and governmental bodies.
- Long-term HTH financial sustainability through a combination of revenue generation as well as private, federal, and non-federal investments.
- Authentic community engagement in underrepresented and underserved parts of the HTH Geographic Corridor, the state, and the region, including Indigenous and rural communities.
- Inclusive discussion and decision-making among Consortium Members on HTH-related matters, including rural and Indigenous communities in Montana.
