Rachel Sterne, the Chief Digital Officer of New York City, Welcomes All to INTERNET WEEK NEW YORK

INTERNET WEEK NEW YORK kicked off this morning with great speakers and big audiences including a lot of women I am glad to say. Now in its fifth year, this week long festival, co-founded by David-Michel Davies where everyone is welcome to host an event, celebrates the internet and all things digital. Rachel Sterne, the Chief Digital Officer of New York City, opened today's events welcoming everyone to enjoy all the opportunities New York has to offer. New York has twice as many women founding startups than other cities, and not just in the fashion industry. "Women are a force in all industries," remarked Rachel. And tech education is a big push for the city, who announced the opening the Academy for Software Engineering, a high school focusing on engineering. In addition to more science in high schools, Cornell is to build an engineering campus in the city as well. Check out the schedule of events for INTERNET WEEK and you will surely find many you want to attend. My reports to be continued....
