NYU Tandon’s Future Labs just released a list of 2016 successes and yowza, go Brooklyn!

In a year chock full of moves in Brooklyn tech, nothing stands out quite so much as the number of successes the NYU Tandon Future Labs produced in 2016.

The organization, run by NYU Tandon School of Engineering, offers promising startups a place to work and access to academics, experts and top-notch talent in three separate foci: the Data Future Lab, Urban Future Lab and Digital Future Lab (the latter two based in Brooklyn).

Here’s what their 2016 looked like:
