A consortium led by the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) will design and operate “BATWorks,” a climate innovation hub at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) in Sunset Park. The roughly 200,000 square-foot BATWorks hub will provide a wide range of startups with space to build products, rapidly prototype new technology, and carry out product research and development.
“BATWorks, a cutting-edge climate innovation hub at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, will unlock new opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs, advance new innovative climate solutions, fuel job growth and strengthen Brooklyn’s working waterfront—all while training New Yorkers of all backgrounds for green-collar jobs,” said Andrew Kimball, president and CEO of the New York City Economic Development Corporation.
NYCEDC said its $100-million investment in BATWorks will help create more than 600 jobs, serve 150 startups over 10 years and generate $2.6 billion in economic impact for the city.
