The Center for Urban Innovation connects and supports leaders from government, business, non-profits, and philanthropy who want to connect innovation and inclusion in America’s cities and metropolitan areas.

For 35 years, we have convened global leaders and experts from business, government, and nonprofit through our annual Conference on Communications Policy.

Our cybersecurity work fosters collaboration among tech companies, civic organizations, and policymakers. We generate solutions to the critical security challenges of the digital age and work to maximize the positive impact of innovation on society.

A multi-pronged effort, the D.A.T.A. (Diversity and Technology Action) Initiative helps to rebuild the digital ecosystem to be reflective of the world’s diversity.

We bring together a wide range of doers and thinkers from law, academia, industry, and civil society to tackle pressing issues found at the intersection of emerging technology and society. The goal is to improve the design, development, and governance of these products through research, education, and policy.

We strive toward societies where all people have access to trustworthy information and reliable news sources. Where a free press thrives and information is not a weapon but a tool for civic engagement.

Our training incubator takes technology experts, teaches them the policy process through an in-residence fellowship program in the Bay Area, and encourages them to develop outside-the-box solutions to society’s problems.
