Synopsis
Come glimpse into the future of the tech economy of Hawai’i!
The Hawai'i Science and Technology Institute, in conjunction
with The State of Hawai'i Department of Business and Economic
Development and Tourism, and The Center for Regional Economic
Competitiveness, have recently completed a landmark research
study that explores the innovation and technology sector, and
the technology talent pool in Hawai'i.
While there remains no doubt that the sun, the sea, and the land
are key economic drivers in Hawaii’s future, leaders have come
to recognize the increasing importance of developing another
critical asset: the knowledge and talent of the state’s people.
Innovation and technology, in particular, represent the
foundation on which Hawaii is achieving productivity growth and
competitive advantage. As Hawaii’s people want better jobs for
themselves and their children, industries must transform or
emerge to provide those opportunities.
The information that you will glean can help your company and
you to position for what is coming with more certainty. You
will see where Hawai'i is today, and where Hawai'i may be in the
coming decade!
