Starting Sept. 27th, HiBEAM's new Hawaii Innovative Technologies & Entrepreneurship Collaboration (HITEC) will open at JABSOM. Housed on the 4th floor of the Medical Education Building, HITEC will offer interested University of Hawaii faculty and students skill building and consulting services - free of charge - to assist them in launching their technology and life science ideas through entrepreneurship.

HITEC will serve a broad and diverse group, from those individuals with a viable product who are in the early stages of company formation, down to the curious scientists, researchers, or even students, who are aspiring entrepreneurs, and who wish to educate themselves on potential opportunities for the future. The Center will serve as a convener, encouraging the intersection of different UH disciplines and innovators with accomplished entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
