Software in Hawaiʻi

Hawaii has a growing software and technology sector. These are the local companies.

The tech community in Hawaii has grown significantly over the past decade, with Honolulu emerging as a real hub for startups and established software companies. The combination of federal contracting demand, a growing tourism technology market, and ocean science computing needs has created a base of software companies that are genuinely competitive nationally, not just locally. Blue Startups, Hawaii's most active startup accelerator, has graduated dozens of companies with national traction. The University of Hawaii system produces computer science and data science graduates who increasingly stay local rather than moving to the mainland for jobs. Remote work has also made Hawaii more viable as a base for software professionals who can work for any company. The software companies listed here are based in Hawaii and serve local and national clients across custom development, SaaS products, and technology services.
