Today on 1010 WINS, we highlight the vibrant community of Downtown Brooklyn that has transformed into a bustling college town, boasting nearly 60,000 college students.
Highlighting this growth, Downtown Brooklyn Partnership President Regina Myer proudly notes that Brooklyn now surpasses Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the number of college students.
Through their Make It in Brooklyn initiative, the Partnership is actively linking students with start-ups and businesses at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies. This hands-on approach is instrumental in creating job opportunities and nurturing the next wave of innovators.
Across our City, I think there is a noticeable gap between academia and the invaluable talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial drive fueling our economy. This initiative serves as a crucial bridge, fortifying Brooklyn's status as a premier tech hub and a vital talent pipeline for the future.
