International Landing Pad Network

New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) is focused on strengthening confidence in New York City (NYC) as a great place to do business and to grow innovative sectors. NYCEDC is launching an International Landing Pad Network as part of its effort to position New York City as the home for international companies in advanced technology, the green economy, and life sciences.

The NYC Advantage for International Business

While establishing a presence in New York City often remains the top choice for international companies looking to expand into the United States, NYC can be a complex market to navigate. NYCEDC is seeking to partner with organizations to develop the International Landing Pad Network to assist growth-stage international companies looking to expand operations in New York City with access to business development resources, technical advising, co-working space, networking events, mentorship, and ecosystem connections.
