The Oregon Innovation Foundation activates and operationalizes a broad network of stakeholders from the tech industry, academia, philanthropy, government agencies, community resources, and others to build a better society where everyone can thrive.

OIF works to ensure that all Oregonians, especially those most often underrepresented or underserved in tech-related industries, are afforded access, experience, relationships, and the opportunity to participate fully in the 21st-century innovation-driven economy without compromising culture, identity, or values.

 

We seek to engage and connect underrepresented and underserved communities to the social, economic, and environmental opportunities available through digital innovation and technology.

 

The Oregon Innovation Foundation takes a comprehensive approach to cultivating civic innovation and empowering communities through technology to drive sustainable development. Our wide-ranging programs address pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges, leveraging cutting-edge technology to build more inclusive and resilient cities.

Our commitment to prioritizing the specific needs of BIPOC communities is integral to our broader mission of creating innovative technologies and solutions for all Oregonians. We champion an equitable, diverse, and inclusive technology ecosystem.

As we embark on this exciting journey, we invite all stakeholders to join us in shaping our state's future and redefining what it means to be a resilient and connected community. Together, we will usher in a new era of innovation-driven sustainable development where we all thrive sustainably and inclusively.
