Founded in 2018, Big Island Made is a membership-based business development and marketing program to support and promote makers, manufacturers, and producers on Hawaiʻi Island. Our goal is to connect members—small, independent, and locally owned businesses—with networking and resource-sharing opportunities, affordable business resources, and collaborative marketing tools to help them get started, grow, and succeed. Big Island Made is a program of our parent organization, Hawaiʻi Localist LLC, a company dedicated to strengthening Hawaiʻi’s homegrown economy.
