Located near the main research campus of the University of Hawaii in Manoa Valley, the Manoa Innovation Center (MIC) brings together Hawaii's intellectual and physical resources. MIC's primary role is to serve as an incubator for new and early-stage technology companies. Tenants of MIC office spaces, which range from 250 to 1000 square feet, enjoy advanced connectivity, state-of-the-art facilities and shared support services such as mail handling. MIC facilitates the growth of technology companies by providing business development services, synergistic and strategic partnerships, networking activities and professional marketing opportunities. The MIC offers occupants mail handling, voice mail and messaging, facsimile, and photocopying services. Incubator occupant candidates should possess the following criteria: a new or emerging registered Hawaii business with a technology-based product or service, key personnel with sufficient knowledge to maintain and advance technology, a reasonable likelihood for growth, legal rights to its technology, and evidence of a clear market opportunity or niche for product.
