YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of NYC Innovates, we go inside the 300-acre campus that now houses more than 550 businesses and generates an estimated $2.5 billion in annual economic impact.

We visit Pliant Energy Systems, a marine robotics company developing underwater vehicles inspired by ocean life. We tour Ten X Beta, the health tech venture studio that built emergency ventilators for New York City in 30 days during the Covid pandemic. We explore Next Step Laboratories, pushing the boundaries of material science for consumer goods, and Kingdom, a biotech company growing microbial cultures that could transform pet health nationwide.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard is more than a workspace. It's a community, a proving ground, and increasingly, a blueprint for what innovation can look like when it's rooted in a city.
