Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaiʻi

The Chinese Chamber hosted a seminar on September 16 at the Chamber office, featuring Jackson Tsao of Lenovo. Tao shared insights on the advantages of on-premises AI over cloud-based AI, with a focus on data privacy, security, and data sovereignty. More than 40 members and guests participated in person and via Zoom.

A highlight of the seminar was a demonstration of Lenovo’s “Built Brain” concept, developed for the City of San Gabriel. The system enables secure, local analysis and forecasting using an organization’s own data without exposing sensitive information to the public cloud.

The presentation offered Chamber members a valuable look at how organizations can leverage AI while maintaining greater control over their data and protecting sensitive information.

We would like to share an important funding opportunity for small businesses affected by the Kona Low storms in March 2026.

The Chamber of Commerce Hawaii (COCH), in partnership with the State of Hawaiʻi and the Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism (DBEDT), will launch the Oʻahu Kona Low Business Recovery (KLBR) Grant Program beginning September 9, 2026.

Through this program, COCH will distribute $3.35 million in grants of $5,000 and $10,000 to eligible non-agricultural small businesses on Oʻahu that were impacted by the March 2026 Kona Low storms.

We would like to hear from our members:

Were you or your business impacted by the Kona Low storms in March 2026? If so, please let us know. We would like to help ensure that affected members are aware of this grant opportunity and have access to information about the application process and eligibility requirements.
