“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
BUSINESS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND TOURISM TO COLLABORATE
WITH UNIVERSITIES IN THE STATE TO CONVENE THE HAWAII CREATIVE
INNOVATION GROUP,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to collaborate with
universities in the State to convene the Hawaii Creative
Innovation Group.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Business, Economic Development, and
Tourism; University of Hawai’i System; and ‘Ama Design Corp.
Your Committee finds that the fashion and music industries in
Hawaii contribute to economic growth, job creation, cultural
preservation, and tourism development, and the State’s diverse
ecosystem of artists, venues, recording studios, and educational
institutions strengthens the State’s cultural identity and
enriches the lives of residents and visitors alike. The success
stories of local music programs, accelerators, and projects are
examples of the opportunities that exist in the intersection
