EVENT DETAILS
Bloomberg, Cornell Tech, & Tech:NYC invite you to join us for the latest installment of the Cornell Tech @ Bloomberg series, featuring Shaun Stewart, CEO of New Lab, in conversation with Scarlet Fu of Bloomberg Television.

After having started his career in hospitality, including roles as CEO of TripAdvisor's Jetsetter & head of Airbnb's vacation rentals business, Stewart joined Google X in 2016 as director of its self-driving car project. Later that year, the group spun out of Google X as Waymo. Late last year, it launched a driverless taxi service in Arizona called Waymo One.

Stewart joined New Lab in December 2018 & relocated from California to New York City. Launched in 2016 with support from both the state & City of New York, New Lab is located in an 84,000-square-foot building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where parts for World War II battleships were once made. After having fallen into disrepair, real estate developer David Belt & entrepreneur Scott Cohen hatched a plan in 2011 to return manufacturing & innovation to the facility.

Envisioned as a place where manufacturing & hardware startups could prototype, build, work, & grow, New Lab now houses over 100 member companies, whose areas of focus range from artificial intelligence & robotics to augmented reality & nanotechnology. These member companies have collectively raised nearly half a billion dollars in venture capital funding.

We hope you'll join us for this conversation, in which Stewart & Fu will discuss New Lab's vision & future, why New York may be the place to scale a cutting-edge tech company, the promise & peril of self-driving vehicles, & Stewart's transition from growing Airbnb's vacation rental business to creating a perfect destination for entrepreneurs in Brooklyn.
