Seeking real-world solutions
IDE examines the benefits and opportunities from advances in technology and digitization in economies, societies, and lives. Our research and dissemination aim to advance knowledge and help businesses, governments and individuals adapt to a world in transformation. Our work is made possible by the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations.

The IDE kicked off 2016 with the goal to increase knowledge and expand dialogue on the digital economy. Findings from last year’s research are providing critical insights to our stakeholders and have won academic acclaim. Our events gathered together thousands of practitioners, academics, and public policy experts on a level, neutral playing field to solve the pressing issues of our era. The inaugural year of the Inclusive Innovation Challenge (IIC) was an enormous success—we awarded $1 million to organizations that are reinventing the future of work. We extend our appreciation to the generous support of individuals, foundations, and corporations who are ensuring that the IDE’s knowledge and research is shared more broadly than ever across the globe.
We owe sincere appreciation and gratitude for the support of the individuals, corporations and foundations listed here. Together we are ensuring that everyone enjoys the bounty of the Digital Economy.
