New York's booming finance sector supports a thriving network of business service providers, including startup accelerators and incubators, many of which are accessible to space tech companies.
Empire Space's Business Services database includes space business services from startup incubators, startup accelerators, startup communities, and broad service providers in all regions of New York State. Activity is focused in New York City, which contains most of the high- and moderate-space-focus business service providers. The next most active regions are the Capital Region, Western NY, and the Finger Lakes, while the least active regions are the North Country, the Mohawk Valley, and Long Island.
This database is constructed from publicly available sources, all of which are included in the table below. We are constantly on the hunt for new data sources to better refine our tables.
We encourage you to dive into this data and learn about what’s going on in your region, or find potential sponsors for your organization. This database is still under construction, and we are continuously updating and refining our datasets to present a more accurate picture of the New York space ecosystem.
