Hawaii Technology Development Venture (HTDV) is a project of the Pacific International Center For High Technology Research (PICHTR) and funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) that utilizes the capabilities of Hawaii-based small businesses in performing high technology efforts related to current and future Department of Navy and Department of Defense programs. HTDV will create a Pacific regional center for commercialization of defense and homeland security technologies that would benefit small companies in Hawaii. The results of the effort will be a stronger technology base in Hawaii to meet technology requirements of the Department of Navy and Department of Defense.
