Montbonnot-Saint-Martin (5,495 inhabitants in 2021; 638 ha) is a commune in the Isère department.
Montbonnot-Saint-Martin has two main parts: Montbonnot le haut, the upper part of the town, where the town hall and its park dominate the Grésivaudan valley and offer a breathtaking view of the Belledonne range; Montbonnot le bas, formerly Saint-Martin-de-Miséré, hosts in particular the science park Inovallée and the École des pupilles de l'air (high school dependent on the Ministry of Defence).
Montbonnot was a wine-growing village until the middle of the 20th century. Montbonnot le bas experienced unprecedented economic development in the 2000s, moving from a rural landscape to a modern industrial zone dotted with recent dwelling. Extending the Inovallée area of Meylan, many companies settled there, such as Sun for example.
