The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), in collaboration with industry leaders Amazon and Shopify, announced today that the first-ever “Made in Hawaiʻi Presents: Your Future in E-Commerce” conference will be held at the Ala Moana Hotel on Wednesday, February 21.
Hawaiʻi Made is a free resource highlighting brands and products that are grown or designed and manufactured in Hawaiʻi. Created and maintained by the Hawaiʻi Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT), it offers Hawaiʻi-based companies and online marketplaces a central portal to promote their offerings to local and new audiences.
In order to be marketed, promoted or labeled as “Hawaiʻi Made” products must be manufactured assembled, fabricated, or produced in the State with at least fifty-one percent of its wholesale value, added by manufacture, assembly, fabrication, or production within the State, including Hawaiʻi-sourced goods, services, and intellectual property.
