From marine equipment and vessel services to cargo movement, manufacturing, and industrial operations, maritime supply chains play a critical role in keeping the New York region moving. The businesses and infrastructure that support ports and working waterfronts often operate behind the scenes, yet they are essential to regional commerce, economic competitiveness, and community resilience. This webinar will bring together industry leaders and public-sector partners to explore the interconnected network of businesses, workers, facilities, and transportation systems that make up New York's maritime economy. Panelists will discuss emerging challenges and opportunities, infrastructure and workforce needs, and strategies for strengthening maritime industries while supporting vibrant waterfront communities.

For more than a decade, the Urban Future Prize Competition has identified and accelerated the founders building the technologies, infrastructure, and systems that cities need to thrive in a changing world. What begins as an early-stage idea has repeatedly become a market-shaping company: 23 startups supported, more than $1 million awarded in non-dilutive funding, and over $515 million in follow-on capital raised - a remarkable 515x return on prize dollars deployed. ​This year’s Urban Future Summit will culminate with presentations from the 2026 Urban Future Prize Competition finalists - founders tackling some of the most urgent challenges we’re facing today, from climate resilience and emissions reduction to mobility, energy, and the circular economy. These entrepreneurs are not only competing for funding; they are competing for the opportunity to join ACRE, New York’s longest-running climatetech incubator, where breakthrough ideas are transformed into scalable businesses.

WindScape Brooklyn is proud to present the inaugural OHNY Weekend Tour of the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Base and South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT), which will serve New York City’s first offshore wind project, Empire Wind. Located 15-30 miles off the coast of Long Island, the project’s 54 turbines will power approximately 500,000 homes upon completion. This tour will allow participants to step onto a section of the largest offshore wind port in the United States, see the project’s large-scale infrastructure from a closer vantage point, and walk around the exterior of the O&M base that will serve Empire Wind through its three-decade lifespan. This is a once-in-a-generation project, built by local labor, that will help NYC and New York meet their renewable energy targets. Following the tour of the port, visitors will be able to explore WindScape Brooklyn’s interactive offshore wind exhibits.

In this five-part webinar series, experts from Ventolines will provide a deep dive into the offshore construction and installation processes that bring a project from permitted design to operational wind farm.
