Real Work On CornellNYC Tech Campus Now Begins
In December 2011, Cornell learned it had won an intensely fought competition to build an applied sciences and engineering campus in New York City. CornellNYC Tech – Home of the Technion-Cornell Innovation Institute, which pairs Cornell with its partner, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, will have an economic development and entrepreneurship-oriented curriculum aimed at turning the best ideas of faculty and graduate students into new technologies and commercial applications.
Cornell and Technion's proposal, which combines two of the world's top institutions in science, engineering and technology, looks to increase New York City's capacity for applied sciences and to transform the city's economy.

New York City's tech sector is unique. Its information-driven economy is serving as the impetus for the development of many consumer-oriented companies focused specifically on technology to meet end users' needs, including those of NYC's core industries: media, advertising, finance, healthcare, real estate, fashion and design, to name a few. These companies are about technology that is designed in close collaboration with the users of that technology, are strongly connected through deep engagement with those customers, and are motivated to stay and grow right here because of their close ties to the city's tech ecosystem.

Why Cornell is the right fit for a new Big Apple tech campus
By Daniel Huttenlocher. Excerpted from the Fall 2011 issue of Ezra Magazine
Fostering technology entrepreneurship has been one of my key priorities since I was appointed dean of Computing and Information Science a little more than two years ago. I am proud of the great entrepreneurship education that Cornell offers across its schools and colleges. Today's students can go beyond learning about entrepreneurship in the tech sector to become entrepreneurs at a much earlier stage. The cost – and hence the risk – of starting a technology business has never been lower.
