Brooklyn Navy Yard

The Brooklyn Navy Yard is a 300-acre industrial campus along Brooklyn's waterfront that has transformed from a historic U.S. Naval shipbuilding facility established in 1801 into a modern innovation hub. Now home to over 550 businesses supporting more than 13,000 jobs, the Yard generates over $2.5 billion in annual economic impact. The campus features the Research Yard with fabrication labs and robotics equipment, the Brooklyn STEAM Center training hundreds of students in advanced manufacturing, and the Yard Labs tech piloting program that provides companies with paths to market validation. The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation fosters a collaborative ecosystem where 55% of tenant companies engage in B2B collaboration, making it one of the most successful urban industrial campuses in the United States.
