Brooklyn is where Newlab began, inside the iconic Brooklyn Navy Yard, once a symbol of American industrial might, now reborn as a hub for critical technology and urban reindustrialization.

Here, engineers, designers, and founders build the future of cities, energy, and materials in the shadow of cranes that once built battleships. This is our proving ground for where critical technology meets urban scale.
