Innovation Leadership Without Boundaries
We are home to a worldwide network of cross-industry leaders driving innovation and new growth – representing small specialty companies, large global corporations, government labs, and universities.

Innovating The Future 2025
Join us for Innovating the Future, where we’ll bring together industry leaders and experts to explore practical, actionable steps you can take today to prepare for both anticipated and unexpected changes ahead. Turning insights from experts, consultants, and early signals into strategy is challenging—this event is designed to help you bridge that gap. Each session offers the chance to dive deeper into key issues with your peers, discussing how these trends impact your company and industry. You’ll walk away not only with fresh ideas but also with a clear plan to implement them.
We are the Innovation Research Interchange
A unique and dynamic collaborative atmosphere.
Our network of cross-industry leaders is as diverse as the value we create across all fields of industry. We advance the field of innovation management by generating contemporary practices that accelerate value creation. The IRI is a division of the National Association of Manufacturers.
