Harlem, New York: Looking into the Tech Future

It seems as if Harlem has its eye on the prize.  In the last few years there has been much talk about New York City and their push to become one of the largest Tech hubs the country has to offer.  This push has been greatly seen in boroughs like Brooklyn where previous Mayors have made it their business to invest and promote the creation of infrastructures that could maintain such a Tech hub. 

With this new Mayor in town we see a push for Harlem.  It seems as if Harlem is getting a tech make over.  In the last 2 years numerous of projects have risen throughout the neighborhood in the hopes that infrastructure improves for future investments.  According to Clayton Banks, executive producer of Silicon Harlem their mission is to transform the community into a tech hub.  According to Clayton if they are able to eliminate crime, increase employment opportunities they should; be able to give the Harlem community another Renaissance. 

In the few years that Silicon Harlem has been around they have been partnering with local and national politicians and entrepreneurs to help develop a tech scene in Harlem.  A few years back there was an initiative that was started by former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.  It seems that the torch has now been passed to new mayor Bill De Blasio.  The project includes deploying the largest, continuous free wi-fi network in the United States, right in the center of Harlem.  It is believed that the network will cover around 95 city block.

According to some experts Harlem is the perfect place.  It is closely located to other major points in the city and offers reasonable rent.  Some of the older buildings offer huge spacing which are perfect for converting into an office space. 

It is great to see that the city of New York is putting so much interest into the neighborhood of Harlem.  The Tech world is here to stay and if we don’t keep up we will be left behind.  That is why it is great to know that Companies like Cyber Technologies with their expert knowledge in systems integrations and home automation are here to help us keep up.  Along with providing service in the system integration field, Cyber Technologies offers the following services as well:
