The APEC Hawai‘i Host Committee partnered with the Chamber of Commerce of Hawai‘i, Kaua‘i County, the City and County of Honolulu, Maui County and Hawai‘i County to make the selections.
The finalists, six on Hawai‘i Island, three on Kaua‘i, six on Maui and 20 on O‘ahu, will receive Recognition of Excellence awards from their respective county. In addition, a winner from each county and one overall statewide winner will be selected Sept. 6, and will receive recognition at various APEC 2011 Hawai‘i programs, as well as through other media opportunities.
Announced in May, the Showcase provides an unprecedented opportunity for businesses registered in the state to showcase innovation in products and services to an international audience during APEC 2011 Leaders’ Week, and will recognize leading edge innovation and achievement in Hawai‘i’s business community.
