Public Policy

The speed of innovation is matched by the complexity of the public policy issues we face. ITI matches that speed with the savvy of our expertise to develop smart, effective policy initiatives. Every policy approach is different. Every strategy is unique. At ITI, we work to provide the best solutions for our members and the policy challenges they face around the world.

ITI’s policy and advocacy team brings decades of experiences from the top levels of corporate, government, and grassroots organizations, and we apply that combined knowledge to deliver results for our members.
