Welcome to Pacific Inno


Kam Napier
A word from PBN Editor in Chief A. Kam Napier on the launch of our new product, Pacific Inno.

Welcome to Pacific Inno, a new digital media brand focused on local innovation and brought to you by the Pacific Business News team.

Part of the American Inno network of sites, Pacific Inno will serve as your source for who and what is next in market, from first-time founders and growth-stage businesses to trends and ideas that are transforming local industries.

With presence in 44-plus emerging and thriving ecosystems across the country, including Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Richmond and Tampa, Inno will complement its boots-on-the-ground reporting with national intelligence and insights, providing you with a one-stop-shop to both the local and national innovation economy. Learn more about American Inno here.

At Inno, we love to tell stories about the people behind the companies, ideas and organizations that are shaping the present and future of Hawaii's economy. You’ll also find longer looks into the trends and topics that are impacting and influencing the region's tech and startup communities, as well as resource-driven lists, multimedia and much more.

And along with daily news and analysis that will help you stay informed and plugged in, Inno will also serve as an onboarding tool for people and businesses that are new to the ecosystem. Through quarterly awards and features, Inno will act as your terminal to the leaders and companies that define your innovation economy.

Inno also has a membership offering that will unlock the full breadth of its reporting and storytelling. For $5/month, you'll receive access to everything on Pacific Inno and our 44-plus other platforms. Anchored by one of the largest stables of startup reporters in the country, an Inno+ membership is your key to national innovation intelligence, powered by local authority.

Inno will be fully open for a brief introductory period and you can read more about Inno+ and what's included here.

Since Inno's launch over 10 years ago in Boston, we’ve covered the journeys and growth of countless startups, showcasing evolutions of all shapes and sizes, from Series As to acquisitions and pitches to IPOs. Inno, with its national expansion and membership rollout this summer, will continue to follow in the footsteps of the innovators we’ve showcased, constantly evolving to help fuel our growth and best serve you, our readers. We look forward to adding more bells-and-whistles to our offerings in the near future. Stay tuned!

Pacific Inno is excited to spotlight the local innovation economy and the people behind it. What does Inno mean in this market? Tech, certainly, but a number of revolutions are underway in the Islands that you can expect to see in this space: Energy and food independence. A new approach to tourism. Creative new ways of leveraging Hawaii's brand in a global marketplace.
