Summer Demo Day 2016
NEW INC continues to be a testing ground for the exploration of new ideas at the intersection of culture, technology, and entrepreneurship. Just as our members experiment with concepts and forms of practice in the fields of art, design, and technology, we, as the first museum-led incubator, experiment with what it means to support and nurture creative enterprises.
We were thrilled to host a Demo Day this July to give our extended community a glimpse of the most recent projects, products, and ideas developed at NEW INC in our program’s second year:
