Innovate New York

Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Innovate New York series of events has focused on key sectors of the city’s economy, and how they could and should be more innovative. We plan to expand Innovate New York to address the city’s ability to compete successfully in the global economy, and to maintain and strengthen its position as the “Global City”. Acting as a catalyst and a hub of this effort, the Institute aims to play an important and visible role in New York City’s future in the global economy.
