Hawaii Tech Exchange

Hilo's Startup Hub

The Hawaii Tech Exchange was a volunteer-operated community organization. We brought together talented individuals and innovative businesses interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics: “STEAM”.

We believed a blend of the Arts (Illustration, Design, Writing) and Technology (Science and Math applied through Engineering) is key to creating economic improvements for Hawaii and ensuring our sustainable future.

The Hawaii Tech Exchange (HITX) ceased operation in July 2024.

Our offices have closed

Most of our events were held at “The Exchange” — a meeting space in downtown Hilo. The Exchange had conference tables, a projection screen, internet and a coffee area.

The Exchange was at the intersection of Haili and Kapiolani Streets, directly across from the Lyman Museum.
