NEW YORK CITY—B.Amsterdam, Europe's largest business incubator, has revealed plans to open its American flagship incubator—and the city's first official international incubator—at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The venture will provide European-based businesses wanting to expand in New York with a 100,000-square-foot facility. Through the partnership, New York entrepreneurs looking to expand in Europe will have access to B. Amsterdam's European facilities.
The organization's US debut comes as a result of a partnership between NYC Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen and Amsterdam Deputy Mayor Kajsa Ollongren. Renovations of B.Amsterdam's new space are expected to begin early next year.
Focusing on product design, hardware and tech companies, at least 15% of the facility will be used for manufacturing. B. Amsterdam is The Netherlands' largest incubator with 300,000 square feet and over 300 businesses across two locations. It focuses on providing real estate and business services for early stage and growth-stage companies and is a founding member of the Startup City Alliance Europe.
The network of a dozen European Capitals aims to establish a transparent European startup ecosystem in order to help startups to scale to the various European markets. SCALE brings together European city governments, universities, corporates and startups, and will open a pipeline for companies across Europe to establish an American presence at the Navy Yard.
With BSSA (B. Startup School Amsterdam), B.Amsterdam also offers young and unemployed individuals the opportunity to take control of their own professional future. During a nine-month program, hundreds of students have learned skills to jumpstart their careers in the startup scene as coders, experienced designers, growth hackers and digital content creators.
“B.Amsterdam's new Navy Yard hub will become a launching pad for new businesses across the five boroughs,” says Glen. The start-ups and spinoffs that begin here will translate into good, living-wage jobs for New Yorkers. We are thrilled our partnership with the city of Amsterdam is driving innovation and growth on both sides of the Atlantic.”
Adds Ollongren, “Cities like Amsterdam, Paris and Stockholm are teeming with entrepreneurs looking to conquer the world with a new product or service that they are looking to scale. With the creation of B.NY, these startups will be able to enter the US market faster and easier. And, via the Amsterdam network, American companies can discover Europe in a similar way.”
“B.Amsterdam's flagship US site at the Brooklyn Navy Yard will connect the Brooklyn and greater New York business communities with dynamic product design and tech companies across Europe, and foster innovation and collaboration at the Navy Yard,” declares David Ehrenberg, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
