New York is a global economic engine and Brooklyn is among its most important parts. But in the tech sector, Silicon Valley still remains the innovation corridor for which others pine, so Brooklyn finds itself among cities nationwide experiencing a ‘rise of the rest’ moment, in which non-Valley tech ecosystems are establishing everywhere, it seems.
It was the subject of our latest monthly Technical.ly podcast, in which Technical.ly Brooklyn is joined by reporters from elsewhere, in this conversation Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Don’t wait to see us post new episodes here: subscribe to our monthly conversation on iTunes here and Stitcher here.
So we discuss what it means to be a tech scene and some of its components. Some of those we saw in Brooklyn:
- An anchor institution: NYU Poly
- Winners: Etsy, MakerBot, Kickstarter
- Incubators and Coworking spaces: NYC ACRE, DUMBO Startup Lab
- Investors: Brooklyn Bridge Ventures
- Techcentric Media: **cough, cough**
