HAWAII ISLAND BUSINESS PLAN COMPETITION

We convened our second agtech conference at the hawaii convention center in honolulu on september 26-27, 2023. To reflect hawaii's world class expertise and long tradition in aquaculture, we added aquaculture technology as a key theme of this event. On day 1 (sept 26), the program focused on agtech and on day 2 (sept 27), the program focused on aquaculture technology. We secured many amazing top shelf speakers for the program (see www.hawaiiagrifood.com). Videos of all the speakers from both conferences can be found on our youtube channel @germinatehawaii https://www.youtube.com/channel/ucvjpclidzrnwnl39fl3xyzw.goals for the conference were: to expose hawaii to key agtech innovations with good potential for hawaii, to expose global agtech innovators to hawaii's resources for adapting their technologies to tropical applications, and to inspire organic growth of innovative hawaii agtech and agtech workforce development.
