The Wave Hawaii
Mahalo nui loa to Lisa Gibson and the entire team for pioneering The Wave and establishing a solid foundation for all of us to perpetuate our mission. With Lisa's encouragement, I now drop in on The Wave.
Towering past the clouds in the tropical night sky, more than two miles above sea level, the peak of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai'i is home to some of the world's most advanced telescopes and observatories. It is at this very special location that one of mankind's most ambitious and spectacular efforts in scientific achievement is underway: The construction and operation of the Thirty Meter Telescope, or TMT.
PART 1 — I believe that few in our community are informed about the structural problems in our state that, if not addressed, will result in a shortage of qualified workers over the next decade and beyond. If we maintain our current course, the potential for harm to Hawaii’s economic future may be as great as that caused by climate change.
In previous installments of this series, we considered why economic development is critically important to Hawai'i's future. In this installment, we will look at three important aspects of economic development activity: Site selection criteria, incentives for locating in Hawai'i, and targeted economic development.
Pukoa Scientific, LLC was founded in 2004 to develop next generation pattern-recognition technologies for military, security, medical and industrial applications. Pukoa has grown to an organization of 13 full-time and 4 part-time staff members and was named the second fastest growing company in Hawaii by the Pacific Business News in 2009.
