TKI Mission


Founded at the turn of the century, TKI is an independent research organization providing accurate, detailed and timely information for decision-makers about all aspects of life on the Hawaiian islands.

Our staff combines expertise in economics and ecology and experience in planning and research on all islands. Our projects are led by highly talented and accomplished experts in business strategy, environmental science, and community networking.

Our focus on sustainability issues from both a corporate and community perspective makes us unique in all of Hawai`i.

TKI has proven ability to deliver superior value by serving senior executives at some of Hawaii's largest corporations and most influential community groups. 

TKI's purpose is primarily educational: To gather, analyze, and present objective information on important social, economic, and ecological aspects of life in the islands.

Typically TKI will deal with demographic, financial, land use and environmental data from public sources, as well as maps from our extensive collection of GIS data.

TKI seeks to be a unifying force by sharing information that affects all islanders and by engaging those who deeply care about these small islands in the sea.
