Maui Research and Technology Park (MRTP), located
at the base of the 10,023-ft. Haleakala, sits on a
prime parcel of approximately 415 acres in the heart
of Kihei, Maui. The MRTP was the vision of a core
group of community leaders in the early 80's and is
now the locus for technology activity for the Maui
community. Efforts to diversify Maui’s economy
by creating the requisite infrastructure (like the
MRTP) was made possible via public/private alliances.
MRTP houses incubator companies, as well as established
private and public companies working in the areas
of space surveillance, communications, scientific
research, advanced materials development, optics,
photonics and department of defense work, among others.
