Founded in 2015, the Dallas Innovation Alliance (DIA) is a 501c(3) public private partnership dedicated to the design and execution of a multi-phased smart cities strategy for Dallas.  DIA operates from the definition that a Smart City is one where social and technological infrastructures and solutions facilitate sustainable economic growth, resource efficiency, and importantly, improve quality of life for its citizens. DIA will develop a scalable smart cities model that leverages the region’s distinctive strengths and leaves a legacy of innovation, sustainability and collaboration for future generations. DIA’s goal is to elevate Dallas as a city that is not only prepared for – but a driving force in shaping – the future of cities, and provide opportunities for prosperity for its citizens.
