New York City
When it comes to New York City, the only constant is change. With its culture of creation, NYC has become a haven for makers and movers. From the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a shipbuilding site turned innovation district, to Cornell Tech, a high-tech innovation campus on the site of an old Roosevelt Island hospital, the city’s energy comes alive and challenges what we think is possible.
