Changes

In addition to CATT and CITE, NYU-Poly Incubators have an impressive track record with local economic boom having generated more than $250 million in economic activity and 900 jobs since 2009 ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-Poly Incubator]). Named one of the Top 10 Idea Labs in the U.S. by ''[http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2013/08/21/NY67450 Worth]'' magazine, the NYU-Poly Incubators—Varick St., DUMBO and NYC-ACRE—are changing the landscape of New York City for the better. As the first NYC-sponsored Incubators and cornerstones of the NYU Entrepreneurial Institute, the programs are designed to empower entrepreneurs from across NYC and NYU who are creating jobs, launching new technology products and services and diversifying the local innovation ecosystem ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-Poly Incubator]). Since 2009, the Incubators have served more than 100 companies, with 7 of those acquired by established public and private companies. Program graduates have raised more than $60M in equity funding and economic growth is projected to reach nearly $720 million by 2015 ([http://www.poly.edu/business/incubators/impact NYU-Poly Incubator]). NYU-Poly’s Incubators leverage support from NYCEDC, NYSERDA, and other government entities, as well as from Trinity Real Estate and Two Trees Management Company, and now Forest City Ratner Companies.
