& with Eric L. Adams TheQ TEP Times sat downA with Eric L. Adams, Brook- lyn Borough President, to get a better understanding of the borough’s ecosystem and his ambitions for its future.

Brooklyn is one of the fastest developing tech ecosystems in the US, what makes so attractive for young, high-growth companies?

The creative energy of Brooklyn has been the driving force for attracting young, high-growth companies to the borough. From the people to the commercial space, we are a borough of diverse offerings with no one size fits all approach. Add to the fact that so many independent bars, cafes, and restaurants pop- ulate our neighborhoods compared to the monoto- ny of chains in Manhattan and it is easy to see why Livestream wants to be in Bushwick and not Flat- iron or Kickstarter wants to be in Greenpoint and not Chelsea. As a result, many new residents, and in turn employees of these young companies, choose to live in Brooklyn. It is a natural fit then for a young company to want to be close to their workforce.

Leading into the next question - Brooklyn has al- ways been diverse, eccentric, and creative, how important are these characteristics for the future of the local economy?

Brooklyn, and by default the City of New York, is made up of many industries. This unique ecosystem creates interactions and ideas through daily inter- actions in commercial establishments, and on the streets and subways. We are a city full of vibrancy that spurs innovation because not everyone is do- ing the same job. San Francisco and Silicon Valley on the other hand are much more mono-cultural. A significant part of the backlash focused on Silicon Valley startups has come from the groupthink that is created in that sort of environment. Brooklyn and the innovation coastline are so much more than a need another app to deliver groceries or alcohol. In- group of startup tech companies.

ew York has moved on from the rat race, Wall Street-dominated years of the 80s. The city now holds a well-deserved reputation Nas a fun and easy place to live and work, no matter your industry. Let’s take a look at some of the very special things that make New York such an exciting place to live. Co-Living - One of the most daunting tasks faced by anyone new to NYC is finding an apartment. Why waste days raking through ads on Craigslist in a desperate hunt to find somewhere with ame- nities like windows and central heating, when you can join a flexible and exciting community through a co-living program? Spaces such as Common and WeLive provide top-class living spaces, with every- thing you need ready for you on day one. Whether that’s a smart TV, high-speed wifi, or a weekly clean- ing service, these startups are here to make your NYC home away from home as smooth as possible. They’ll even set you up with dream roommates in the form of fellow developers, designers, and entrepre- neurs so you can share projects and maybe inspire the Next Big Thing, right from your living room. Eating & Drinking - It’s no secret that New York is foodie heaven. During the week, that might mean whipping up your own gourmet meals from one of RyanJLane the city’s many meal delivery options, such as Plat- ed or Blue Apron.
