The NYC Small Business Technology Coalition is a public-private partnership created to help New York City small businesses located in low- and moderate-income communities understand the benefits of technology and how to integrate it into their day-to-day operations.
In its first year of operation, NYC Small Business Technology Coalition partners provided more than 1,500 participants technology education through courses and technical assistance. Of this group of attendees, 75% fell within low-to-moderate income status. In addition at the inaugural NYC Small Business Technology Expo, 150 small business owners connected with New York City’s most innovative and cutting-edge technology companies that provide tools and platforms to grow their businesses online.
The NYC Small Business Technology Coalition is a public-private partnership between the NYC Department of Small Business Services, Citi Community Development, and select community development organizations across New York City:
- Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation (Bronx)
- Local Development Corporation of East New York (Brooklyn)
