About

In January 2024, we incorporated as a non-profit dedicated to advancing the robotics industry. Through economic and workforce development, high-impact events, our digital platform, strategic programs, tailored services, and global partnerships, NYR has transformed a once-fragmented community into a connected, thriving ecosystem.

Since 2021 — accelerating dramatically after our incorporation — we have built relationships with founders, funders, students, professors, scientists, executives, diplomats, and more. By balancing the unique needs of each stakeholder group, we have facilitated the exchanges of economic value, knowledge, resources, and opportunities necessary to help the ecosystem grow and flourish.

The core organizations establishing NY Robotics.

We work closely with major partners whose businesses benefit from direct access to the region’s robotics community. But ultimately, our success is measured by the success of the startups we serve. Today, we maintain active relationships with over 150 robotics startups across the New York tri-state region — and more than twice that number worldwide.
