Posted on News & Media by Victoria Krisman · May 17, 2017 1:58 PM · 1 reaction

The ICF Dublin Institute’s May 4 workshop welcomed more than 40 attendees who were able to hear an inspiring keynote presentation from Roberto Gallardo, Executive Director of the MSU Intelligent Community Institute.

In Mississippi, Dr. Gallardo is on a mission to close this digital divide, one citizen, one neighborhood, one business, one community at a time. Dr. Gallardo discussed with Institute members the steps he has taken and the community development model he uses to move the dial toward a more connected and intelligent Mississippi.

An Intelligent Community Institute™ is a local research and development institution established in partnership with ICF by universities, local governments and other organizations to accelerate the Intelligent Community® movement at the regional and national level. They promote the use of broadband and information technology for economic development. Digital connectivity and services have transformed our economy and will continue do so for decades of this Digital Century, and economic development practices need to keep pace with change. 

Each Intelligent Community Institute™ teaches the Community Accelerator Strategy while also supporting a specific mission of the community or institution that is home to the Institute. That mission may focus on education or accessibility, agriculture or alternative energy, the creation of technology clusters or the reduction of poverty. Whatever the mission, the Institute creates new capabilities for the global movement while addressing regional or national priorities.

The Dublin Intelligent Community Institute

Posted on Intelligent Community Institutes by Victoria Krisman · June 08, 2016 12:26 PM

Dublin_Workshop.jpg

The Dublin Intelligent Community Institute™ was established in partnership with the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) to expand the Midwest’s knowledge about the creation of Intelligent Communities. Through the Institute and our membership, we seek to expand understanding of successful community development in this Digital Century - when broadband and information technology have become fundamental economic development issues - and to equip local leaders with tools to build stronger communities.

The Institute is currently one of several organizations licensed through ICF. Each Institute focuses on educating and assisting communities in becoming proficient in the Accelerator Strategy factors – connectivity, knowledge work, innovation, engagement, inclusion and sustainability.

Mission

The Dublin Intelligent Community Institute is a collaborative network of rural, suburban and urban community leaders and organizations focused on building Intelligent Communities. Through outreach to other Ohio communities and a series of workshops in Dublin, the Institute trains leaders in strategies for using broadband and information technology to drive economic, social and cultural development. The Institute is promoting a vision of Intelligent Ohio: a network of cities and counties using the Community Accelerator Strategy to drive their economic, social and cultural development in the Digital Century.  By leveraging the knowledge and success of the membership, the Institute serves as facilitator, convener and subject matter expert to:

  • Expand awareness
  • Provide resources
  • Exchange information & ideas
  • Connect communities & organizations
  • Conduct research

Accomplishments

Since its founding, the Dublin Intelligent Community Institute has –

  • Sent teams to multiple cities in central Ohio to brief on the Community Accelerator Strategy and its impact. Sharing Dublin’s experience, the Institute has encouraged other communities to engage with the Intelligent Community movement, and these efforts have helped give Ohio the third-largest concentration of Intelligent Communities in the world.
  • Maintained a schedule of workshops bringing together city managers, economic development officers, CIOs and smart city officials from Ohio and the broader Midwest for education and networking. See Institute News below.
  • In collaboration with ICF, developed a new category for the movement: the Intelligent State. A document published by ICF in 2022 declared Ohio to be the world’s first Intelligent State based on its number of Intelligent Communities and state-level programs driving broadband deployment, innovation, workforce development, community engagement, inclusion and sustainability.
