Innovate Long Island

Innovate Long Island is a digital news and events company founded in 2015 by veteran editor and publisher, John Kominicki. The company's focus is on reporting and promoting the regional innovation economy on Long Island. Its broad definition of "innovation" allows for coverage on a wide range of subjects, from local inventors to the largest firms, research laboratories, universities, and incubators. Additionally, it supports public and private efforts aimed at transitioning Long Island's economy away from its defense industry towards sectors such as software, biosciences, composites, high-tech manufacturing, and clean energy. The company's advocacy extends to supporting STEM education, fostering ties to New York City's technology and financial markets, and advocating for infrastructure projects like subsidized housing, transit-oriented development, and the MTA’s second- and third-track projects. Innovate Long Island's reporting is accessible through InnovateLI.com and thrice-weekly e-newsletters. These newsletters provide quick-read, mobile-friendly synopses of original reporting as well as innovation news from other regions. Moreover, the company organizes events that celebrate local innovative businesses, in addition to educational and issue-focused meetups. It is important to note that Innovate Long Island is entirely supported by companies and organizations that share its vision for the future of Long Island. The company operates within the Publishing industry and is headquartered in the United States. The details of its last investment and the involved investors are not disclosed at this time.
