ABOUT US
The Kaua‘i Creative Technology Center (KCTC) stimulates innovation and economic growth within the Creative Industries sector in Hawai‘i to establish and/or grow businesses that create or apply technologies that will increase their competitiveness in the Local, State-wide and/or Global economy, thereby creating jobs and generating economic wealth within the Creative Industries sector.
KCTC is funded under Grant in Aid by the State of Hawai‘i's Creative Industry Division (CID). Their website can be found at https://cid.hawaii.gov.
We aim to offer a flexible and multidisciplinary workspace for Kaua‘i's West Side community, offering facilities for the creative arts. The space will include a sound proof room and studio with control room, along with a classroom and access to high speed internet.
We are currently in the planning stage and actively seeking early adopters to help make our vision a reality.
