WHAT: David Belt and Scott Cohen, the founders of New Lab, will be joined by Brooklyn Navy Yard President & CEO David Ehrenberg and leaders from the city and state government, as well as civic stakeholders and entrepreneurs, for the official ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of New Lab, a first-of-its-kind center for advanced, hardware-centric technology that anchors the Navy Yard’s 220,000 square foot Green Manufacturing Center.
New Lab encompasses 84,000 square feet and is a breakthrough ecosystem of shared resources where entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, and academics—in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and urban technology—can take their ideas from concept to prototype to production all under one roof.
