The following is a final report for the High Technology Development Corporation's (HTDC) 1998 High Tech Business Survey.  It includes estimates by industrial grouping for high technology organizations and firms in the state of Hawaii and projections for the number and total revenue for high technology organizations and firms for the year 2000.

As part of its mandate, HTDC is required to make and publish a periodic report on the state of Hawaii's high technology industry.  HTDC has previously conducted surveys of the state's technology companies and organizations in 1987, 1990, 1993, and 1996.

The survey sought the following information about Hawaii's high tech firms and organizations:

General information, including Hawaii contact person, parent company or organization and subsidiaries, principal products, services or missions of company or organization, and employees working 20 hours or more a week in Hawaii.
