About Newlab
Newlab was created from the ruins of a turn-of-the-century naval shipyard in Brooklyn because we knew that from adversity and diversity comes invention. And we saw the need for something new: A place for the people crazy enough to build hardware in NYC to find the tools, space, and community to supercharge their ambition and create a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable world. Newlab believes the most critical pathways to decarbonize the world fall into three categories: Materials, Energy, and Mobility. Newlab collaborates with leaders across industry and government with a new vision for technology-led economic development that drives meaningful progress for all.
