Initiatives launched over the past two years
We support entrepreneurship across all sectors—helping NYC’s legacy industries like media and finance transition to 21st-century business models, while also supporting the city’s “emerging industries” from life sciences and cybersecurity to proptech and offshore wind.
Our team also identifies and spearheads initiatives to help meet some of the greatest needs of NYC’s communities, from broadband to public health.
To achieve this, we work with business leaders to:
- Analyze economic trends
- Develop industry-specific growth strategies
- Implement programs that help businesses thrive and grow
All of our efforts across industries are part of NYCEDC’s goal to build strong neighborhoods, create good-paying jobs, and ensure the city’s economy is dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable.
