REQUESTING THE HAWAII TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO INITIATE THE PLANNING OF A HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY HUB IN KAKAAKO TO ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF HEALTH CARE TECHNOLOGY AND PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF HAWAII'S HIGHLY SKILLED HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE.

SCR 35 is a resolution requesting the Hawaii Technology Development Corporation to plan a Health Care Technology Hub in Kakaako. It directs the Corporation to collaborate with the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s medical school, cancer center, and other state agencies to accelerate healthcare technology adoption and grow Hawaii’s skilled healthcare workforce. The hub would be developed at the Entrepreneurs Sandbox site (643 Halo Street), adjacent to medical facilities, and a planning report must be submitted to the Legislature by 2026. This is a procedural request for planning - not a law - focusing on coordination and future development.
