Food and Product Innovation Network

At Career Foundations, we are proud to support the Food and Product Innovation Network (FPIN), a bold statewide initiative led by Senator Donovan M. Dela Cruz and Representative Kirstin Kahaloa through the Agribusiness Development Corporation. Established under Act 237, Session Laws of Hawaii 2025, the purpose of FPIN is to:

Allow local businesses to capitalize globally on the “Hawaii-Made” brand.
Create world-class products.
Scale up production by providing local businesses with access to a diverse suite of manufacturing equipment and industry expertise.

As FPIN invests in the future of local food, manufacturing, and innovation, Career Foundations is helping build the human pipeline behind that vision - equipping students, educators, and aspiring entrepreneurs with the mindset, skills, and real-world experiences needed to lead Hawaiʻi forward.
