The Intelligent Community Forum Foundation is the nonprofit
membership association of the Intelligent Community Forum. Its members are communities honored by the
Forum’s international awards program for Intelligent Communities, which use
information and communications technology as the foundation for building
inclusive, sustainable prosperity. They
are committed to expanding and deepening their use of broadband and IT,
creating a knowledge-based workforce, promoting digital inclusion, spurring
innovation and becoming effective marketers and advocates for their vision.
Having achieved so much already, the members of ICFF have formed
this global network – a "community of communities" – in order to further
boost their economic competitiveness, social health and cultural strength
through close and effective collaboration.
They have chosen to become committed partners in building the community
of the 21st Century.
