Partnerships

Bringing the Pieces Together

New York City’s economic strength comes from its diverse set of stakeholders—domestic and international businesses, academic institutions, community-based organizations, private investors, and the public sector. These stakeholders catalyze growth opportunities in existing and emerging industries and create good-paying jobs for all New Yorkers.

The Partnerships team at NYCEDC brings these stakeholders together, forging strategic relationships to keep NYC on the cutting edge of innovation and opportunity.

We’re also New York City advocates—getting the word out about why this city is a great place to live, work, and do business.

What We Do

Our work is centered around:

• Developing strategic partnership opportunities with external stakeholders to further NYCEDC’s mission of creating shared prosperity across NYC
• Identifying and recruiting partners for NYCEDC projects and investments
• Introducing strategies for recruiting diverse talent in NYC

To further these goals, we primarily work with:

• Business associations
• International trade organizations and investment offices
• Academic institutions
• Workforce development organizations
• Accelerators
• Site selection firms
• Venture capitalists
• Foundations & philanthropists
• The state of New York

At the end of the day, we're connectors, bringing together the people, companies, and resources that keep the city growing and create opportunities for all New Yorkers.
