🎃 Happy Halloween, #DTBK! 👻 #BKLYNBOO!

We connected local college students with BK-based startups as part of our Open Office initiative! Students from @LIUbrooklyn, @NYUtandon, @BrooklynLawSchool, and @SFCNY toured the offices of these innovative startups:

• @Vycarb, a startup at the forefront of decentralized carbon removal technology at Brooklyn Navy Yard
• Blue Ridge Labs, @RobinHoodNYC’s innovation lab focused on tech-driven solutions for low-income New Yorkers
• @Makelab3D, an on-demand 3D printing service
• @NineDotEnergy, creating equitable urban energy grids and storage solutions

By connecting students with entrepreneurs and breakthrough technologies, our Open Office program nurtures the next generation of innovators, strengthening Brooklyn's position as a world-class tech hub and pipeline for talent.
