The IE.F was established in 2016 as the Internet Economy Foundation. It has always been built around a circle of leading figures from the European tech world who have come together to fight for Europe’s place in the global economy and global order.
As a think tank, forum-giver and dialogue partner, it promotes the interests of the European digital and tech economies. To represent the broad base of Europe’s strengths and opportunities more comprehensively, we reoriented the foundation in 2024 and adapted our name accordingly: Innovate Europe Foundation.
