Hello, world! Welcome to our blog. We’re Microsoft’s new Technology & Civic Innovation team based in New York City.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower people and organizations through technology to do more and be more. We’re driving that mission forward by building cross-sector solutions to our shared cross-sector challenges. Our work requires internal collaboration across Microsoft, but every bit as importantly, it takes collaboration with governments, non-profits, academic institutions, businesses, and startups. Because we believe that by working together we can make game-changing progress on key issues facing society, including: Data, Transparency & Openness; 21st Century Jobs & Opportunity; and Smarter & More Resilient Cities.
We’re excited to be here. And we can’t wait to work with you to make New York even better than it already is. Please reach out with any comments, ideas, or just to say hello: @MicrosoftNY, @johnpaulfarmer, or [email protected]
