The University of Hawaiʻi will expand its innovation, entrepreneurship and workforce development ecosystem with the support of a $2.7-million CARES Act Recovery Assistance grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA). This will be matched with $813,068 of local funding.
“In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic and world events beyond our control, never has it been more important for an island-state like Hawaiʻi to develop new industries to supplement its primary, but often fragile tourism-based economy,” said UH Vice President for Research and Innovation
Vassilis L. Syrmos. “We are grateful to the EDA for their generous grant to the University of Hawaiʻi and for recognizing the importance of our efforts to help diversify the local economy through our growing slate of innovation, entrepreneurship and workforce development programs.”
