Spaces Designed for Innovation
The Wachholz Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (WIEC) was made possible by a generous gift from Paul Wachholz. His vision is to support the people of Northwest Montana who want to explore new ideas, build businesses and create opportunities for themselves and the community. His gift launched the Center and established the foundation for its future growth.
