After sixteen weeks of rigorous analysis of 17 major industries and over 30 stakeholder conversations about the future of Hawaiʻi’s economy, we've identified four exciting industries for Hawaiʻi’ to pursue over the next five years: grid resiliency technology, cybersecurity, maritime 4.0, and remote work.
Aloha,
ThriveHI was founded in 2022 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our team was united behind a vision of building Hawaiʻi’s startup and tech economy to increase higher-quality jobs for locals and strengthen our state’s economic resilience.
We believe modernizing Hawaiʻi’s economy requires sustained partnerships across different sectors. ThriveHI aims to bring strategic focus to Hawaiʻi’s economic development activities. We are taking a data-driven approach to establishing Hawaiʻi’s tech niche, beginning with a clear understanding of industry trends, local assets, and opportunities for Hawaiʻi.
This report synthesizes sixteen weeks of rigorous analysis of 17 major industries and over 30 stakeholder conversations about the future of Hawaiʻi’s economy. ThriveHI is working to prepare Hawaiʻi for the jobs of the future, and this report is a critical initial
milestone in this long-term endeavor.
The study's primary goal was to identify opportunities that show great potential for Hawaiʻi, and our team is excited to share the results with you. The data has surfaced 4 specific and bold opportunities that can establish Hawaiʻi as a tech hub and leader in the future of work. Our report outlines what Hawaiʻi’s comparative advantage could be if we work together on a suite of new programs that catalyze growth in a handful of targeted areas.
Building an inclusive tech community requires broad-based support, and we look forward to working with you as we refine our ideas and transform our insights into actions. We hope you will join us in our effort to develop programs that meet local business needs, expand access to higher-paying jobs, and position Hawaiʻi for a successful future.
Mahalo,
The ThriveHI Team
