​Join the Hawai‘i Ocean Innovation Hui for a special gathering celebrating World Ocean Month and the growing momentum behind Hawai‘i’s ocean tech and innovation ecosystem.

​It's been one year since ThriveHI: Welcome to Ocean Tech Night, which brought together ocean enthusiasts and ecosystem builders during last year's World Ocean Month. We’re coming together to reflect on progress, share ecosystem updates, and look ahead to what’s next. The gathering will include the unveiling of the Ocean Tech Strategic Plan, discussion on how the Hui can evolve, opportunities for project group engagement, and a look ahead to Hawai‘i Tech Week.

​We encourage attendees to join in person whenever possible to support connection and conversation. A hybrid listening option will be available for those on neighboring islands or away on summer travels.

​Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. If you plan to attend in person, please RSVP by 12 pm on Monday, June 22 to help us plan for room setup and catering. Mahalo!
