Technology firms, digital and creative start-ups have grown significantly along the Brooklyn waterfront in recent years. In DUMBO alone, there are more than 100 technology and digital companies and hundreds more in other creative industries, but many of these companies are expanding at a rapid pace and struggling to find the office space and skilled employees they need to fuel their growth. The Navy Yard is home to an increasing number of clean-tech/green-tech and creative firms and maintains a waiting list of companies looking for space. Meanwhile, Downtown Brooklyn boasts growing tech-oriented academic resources, as well as infrastructure and real estate opportunities that have the potential to attract hundreds more tech firms.
