What’s ahead for NYC Tech in 2013? New York’s technology sector is on the rise, with employment in the industry growing nearly 30 percent in the last five years and now totaling nearly 120,000 jobs. The panel of City representatives, industry experts, entrepreneurs and investors will explore new trends in venture capital funding, startups to watch, and opportunities in New York tech today, including the new industrial “makers” revolution – as well as larger efforts by the Bloomberg Administration to grow the City’s technology sector and promote entrepreneurship across all sectors of the economy.

This event is targeted at the general public and will provide participants with insight into New York’s social media and tech startup outlook for 2013 and beyond, with a diverse range of expert panelists from the public and private sectors. We plan to show a video beforehand as well featuring a new, uniquely NYC tech startup.
