报告内容简介：
New York City has been a cultural and economic capital for more than 100 years and it should not be surprising that it leads in the tech sector as well. But unlike the legendary Silicon Valley, New York's Silicon Alley bears social and cultural stamps that distinguish it from the overtly technological world found in California. New York's is tied to applications that are heavily imbued with applications that reflect its prominent past as a publishing center, fashion community, and artistic society. This presentation will highlight some representative examples of tech companies that reflect these social/cultural facets and of publishers, retailers, and social media that are prominent implementations of technologies that combine to capture the character of this vibrant city.
