NYU-Poly started its first business incubator at its downtown Brooklyn campus in 2004. In 2009 we partnered with New York City to open a second incubator in Manhattan as part of the City’s 11-point plan to promote business innovation through entrepreneurial activity following the 2008 economic downturn. In 2009 we also began NYC ACRE, our incubator solely focused on supporting the efforts of clean-technology-oriented companies.
The goal of each of our incubators is to provide the guidance, expertise, and resources that organizations need to grow into successful ventures that bring economic growth to New York City.
