New York City has almost always been the center, the center of everything including the center of technology. Yes, you might mention Silicon Valley but the growth of the tech community in New York City cannot be completely ignored. There are many technology companies working in New York, even making the city their base of operations. One of them is Jafton, a well-known mobile application development company in the United States. The company is one of many app developers in New York whose turnover continues to increase as the city becomes more conducive for the growth and development of technology companies.
Even New York City is often referred to as “Silicon Alley,” a counterpoint to Silicon Valley. In some ways it is indeed superior, for example, New York City with its millions of inhabitants is the first digital city in the US and it has been around for more than ten years. To note, a digital city is a city with a level of integration of information and communication technology in the daily governance of the city. As a result, there is an increase in the efficiency of public services for the welfare of citizens.
Many popular startups started from this city and until now the city seems to have never lost its shine. It is a very busy city and no lazy person wants to live in New York City. The world seems to move fast and every company based there must get used to the fast rhythm. Some well-known startups such as Etsy, Tumblr, Foursquare, and Meetup are all examples of companies participating in a giant, growing tech community that encourages new entrepreneurs to take advantage of platforms that, unknowingly, are helping to expand New York City’s digital ecosystem. As a result, the technology community in the city continues to grow, giving birth to many new startups that are actually developments from existing startups. Because the digital technology ecosystem continues to grow in New York City, it’s no wonder that more and more investors, even from outside the city, are arriving to invest their capital in technology companies there.
New York City may be in a phase where advances in technology are reflected in experiential design, the growth of new business models, and more even distribution. As the “representative” of the East Coast, perhaps at first the city was a bit left behind from the West Coast represented by Los Angeles but in recent years, small technology startups have developed like mushrooms and in many aspects are able to compete or at least go hand in hand with the platforms. established platforms based on the West Coast such as Facebook and Amazon. The massive move of Android and iOS app developers to New York City in recent years is a reason not to be overlooked.
Mobile applications, especially those based on Android, have long dominated the digital technology market because they are easy for even layman to download, install, and run. Buoyed by a favorable investment climate and the presence of highly reputable app developers, New York City is steadily advancing to become the leader or at least one of the bases for mobile app development in the US.
The era of AI has arrived and more and more AI-based applications are being launched, be it running on Android, iOS, or Windows platforms. This is a new opportunity for technology companies in New York City to stay on track. And as long as the city has a favorable climate for companies, developers, and investors, it will be one of the technology barometers to be reckoned with, both in the US and around the world.
