New Lab (www.newlab.com) , The Hub at Grand Central Tech (www.hubatgct.com), Urban Future Lab (www.ufl.nyc), Urban-X (www.urban-x.com), & B New York City (www.b-buildingbusiness.com/new-york/b-new-york-city/) are recently formed innovation hubs in New York. What roles do they play in our city? How are they transforming the way people work & collaborate in accelerating the development process of new technologies? We will hear from the people who run these spaces to find out. We're inviting the tech & business community, local residents, government officials, academic institutions, & relevant NGOs to join us in learning about how these innovation hubs are not only fostering entrepreneurship but finding solutions to pressing issues affecting our city.
