The organizations standing alongside the 2026 Black Tech Honors Awards Gala — our NSBE NYC Professionals corporate partners and our gala sponsors — are investing in a stronger, more connected Black technology ecosystem across engineering, business, and innovation.
Why Partnership Matters
Corporate partnerships with NSBE NYC Professionals do more than support a single evening. They strengthen opportunities across the Black technology ecosystem — connecting engineers, technologists, entrepreneurs, business professionals, emerging talent, and experienced leaders in lasting, meaningful ways.
When industry-leading organizations invest in this community, they help build durable bridges between corporations and Black-owned and Black-led businesses, open doors to technical and executive careers, and create the kind of long-term relationships that shape entire careers — not just a single event.
