begins with Access for all.
Historically underestimated communities hold trillions of dollars of latent economic potential. Enhancing our economy's cultural insights, talent pool, and consumer base will provide unprecedented market reach and resilience.
IDI is a nonpartisan organization that convenes industry, government, and communities through a variety of programs to include research, education, and workforce development. We harness our collective resources and influence to unlock unprecedented economic opportunities.
