Congressman Weiner Addresses NYSIA Luncheon

Congressman Weiner Luncheon

On Monday, October 29th, NYSIA and Information Builders hosted a luncheon featuring Congressman Anthony Weiner’s speech on Entrepreneurial Growth in New York City.

Congressman Weiner discussed how New York City’s economic future will impact the technology sector and emphasized three points: 1) Government recognizes a need to help medium-sized businesses offset the high costs of doing business in NYC and the primary vehicle for that assistance is in the form of tax incentives; 2) Net Neutrality is necessary regulation to insure ongoing growth and opportunity; and 3) Immigration is of paramount importance to both the tech sector and the continued thriving of New York City.
