In the past four years, NYU-Poly has launced three new business incubators.  These programs aim their focus on economic development by providing small businesses with office space and services.  An economic impact study (EIS) released by NYU-Poly on the influence of their business incubators was the highlight of  Patrick Clark’s “The New Entrepreneur” article in Bloomberg Businessweek.
