NY Tech Week & Robotics

 Last week’s NY Tech week featured a lot of parties & panels but the best gathering I attended was the NY Tech Meetup, which Bruni PR first attended in 2006.  It’s the “Ellis Island” for techies coming to NYC.

The event at Civic Hall focused on the hottest new industry in NYC - Robotics.   

• The New York–New Jersey region recorded approximately $21 billion in robotics-related industry revenue in 2022 (including industrial robots, AGVs, and AMRs), with projections ranging up to $190 billion by 2040—a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13–23 %  

Trump 100 Days

The first 100 days of Trump have been the worst start for any President in American history.  The WSJ editorial board summed it up perfectly today :

“Presidential second terms are rarely successful, and on the evidence of his first 100 days Donald Trump’s won’t be different. The President needs a major reset if he wants to rescue his final years from the economic and foreign-policy shocks he has unleashed.”

Bruni PR anticipates a sharp decline in VC funding for startups, including the hot new AI space. Silicon Alley has faced meltdowns in 1999 and 2005 .  But this one will be deeper for sure .
