Environmental tech maybe ag tech...

I love that Maui is thinking big and that successful entrepreneurs consider this a possibility. I also think that a focused and realistic approach to attract technology firms would be the wisest. Maui does not have the resources for general software development. We are remote, highly regulated, have a high cost of living and expensive real estate and we have a limited university presence. The clean energy goals for Hawaii and the bountiful sunshine, wind, waves and limited geography would seemingly make us a natural spot to develop and test green energy technologies. It would seem to me that we should focus on that segment of the market if we want to create a niche with higher paying jobs...
