Companies and entrepreneurs are flocking to the Brooklyn Tech Triangle — an area encompassing the Brooklyn Navy Yard, DUMBO and Downtown Brooklyn — where they are finding active support from a like-minded community and investors.

City & State breaks down the reasons why Brooklyn has “newfound status as an incubator for tech startups.”

Various media sources report on the City’s announcement Wednesday outlining new initiatives – several of which were originally proposed in the Brooklyn Tech Triangle Strategic Plan – that will over the next ten years continue to spur growth in the greater Downtown Brooklyn area, improving infrastructure, physical connectivity, and creating new space for technology and other companies.
