A New York State economic development grant will support the School of Engineering and Computing Sciences’ new Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center. It will foster innovation and promote collaborations among industry, the academic community, professional organizations, and government to boost the economy of Long Island and the surrounding area.

To encourage collaboration, NYIT will develop three new laboratories at its Old Westbury campus to explore research and business opportunities in health analytics and bioengineering, information technology and cyber security, and energy and green technologies.

“The center will create a pipeline of students, faculty, and employees from leading organizations working together toward the commercialization of ideas, software, and prototypes spanning many different fields,” says Nada Anid, Ph.D., dean of NYIT’s School of Engineering and Computing Sciences.
