Emerging Industries: The Market Sectors Saving NYC’s Economy

New York’s long forgotten industrial parks and neighborhoods have been transforming into talent-infused innovation hubs comprised of life science, biotech, tech, media and creative brands. These high-growth, emerging industries are not only redefining New York’s post-industrial neighborhoods, they’re also attracting top investors and U.S. talent. Simultaneously, the city has found a greater need for its operating industrial centers. As U.S. leaders look to increase domestic manufacturing and tackle supply chain issues, industrial and logistics real estate is poised to make a comeback. The Emerging Industries Forum will discuss the need and demand for emerging industries to not only succeed in their respective business areas, but also to revitalize commercial real estate in its darkest hour.
