The city's latest "Moonshot" challenge seeks to assist some 1 million unbanked or underbanked New York City residents.

New York City will pilot a pair of mental health resources — a comic book and a health management system — in two underserved communities.

A class of 14 technologists helped the city complete several initiatives, including broadband mapping and a data dashboard to track hate crimes across the five boroughs.

The winners of NYC's latest competition are developing cybersecurity solutions — like phishing and end-point protection — for small businesses in the city.

Seven finalists will meet with the city's small businesses, while those remaining will compete for a $1 million prize from Jerusalem Venture Partners.

Jeremy Goldberg, who spent two years developing innovation competitions in NYC, is now working inside the state government's technology agency.

The city discovered in a recent survey that small business owners are aware of cyber threats but are largely unequipped to address them.

Mayor Bill de Blasio's office is encouraging city agencies, community organizations, and private businesses to rally the public in search of solutions to common urban challenges.

One winner to be named in July may get a shot at pitching ideas to city departments and help push the region toward its sustainability goals.

The companies have been names as contestants in a moonshot program led by the city's technology and innovation teams.
