nyc open gov -- innovation for the people by the people
DESCRIPTION
As Tim O’Reilly noted, government, at its core, is about doing together what we can’t do alone. In the past few years, New York City has positioned itself as a premier city for technology startups and technocratic government policy. In 2012, with 1 in 5 new jobs in America were created in NY State, New York led the nation in new job creation. At the same time, NYC further cemented its roots in innovation through a first-in-the-nation open data legislation and further expanding entrepreneurial opportunity for all. 2013 is a critical time for innovation and having businesses involved. This presentation outlined how NYC is using collective action to innovate and solve challenges (e.g. BigApps, Open Data, and Reinvent Payphones).TRANSCRIPT
