Foundation (ITIF) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank at the cutting edge of designing innovation policies and exploring how advances in information technology will create new economic opportunities to improve the quality of life. Non-profit and non-partisan, we offer pragmatic ideas that break free of economic philosophies born in eras long before the first punch card computer and well before the rise of modern China. ITIF, founded in 2006, is dedicated to conceiving and promoting the new ways of thinking about technology-driven productivity, competitiveness, and globalization that the twenty-first century demands. ITIF publishes policy reports, holds forums and policy debates, advises elected officials and their staffs, and is an active resource for the media. It develops new and creative policy proposals, analyzes existing policy issues through the lens of bolstering innovation and productivity, and opposes policies that hinder digital transformation and innovation. The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation is a 501(C)3 nonprofit organization. For more information, visit www.itif.org or follow ITIF on Twitter @ITIFdc.
