Success Stories
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
YAHOO! INC.


The goal is to help find and define the next stage of the Internet. New York is a tech hub and it just made a lot of sense.

BUSINESS NEED
Yahoo! Inc. wanted to build stronger relationships with media and advertising companies and local universities in the New York City area. Although Yahoo! had a sales office in Manhattan, the company recognized that adding a research facility to its NYC presence fit well in its overall competitive strategy.
SOLUTION
In December 2005, Yahoo! hired a top scientist and opened its first East Coast research facility in New York City. The NYC research facility is part of a larger move to increase research and development, to strengthen relationships with media/advertising companies and to tap into talent pools outside of the San Francisco Bay area.
