Maui Tech Ohana

Maui TechOhana is a program organized by a partnership between the Maui Economic Development Board, Inc., and the Maui Office of the Hawaii Small Business Development Network.

The meetings provide an informal networking opportunity open to anyone interested in Maui's technology industry. Events include a short presentation on a relevant topic in business or technology, followed by the opportunity to talk with others with similar professional interests.

August's TechOhana Speaker

Our presenter on Wednesday, August 6, will Ned Davis, PhD. Ned leads the engineering efforts at CrossFiber – a Maui-based tech company that has developed a unique optical switching technology for use in data and telecommunications networks. Traditionally, optical signals must be moved back to copper at the switch. CrossFiber’s technology allows the signal to transit the switch as an optical signal. Ned will tell us much more about this interesting technology, and answer questions at the August meeting of Maui TechOhana.
