The Dallas Innovation Alliance (DIA) is a 501c3 cross-sector partnership founded to support the City of Dallas' smart cities strategy. We define a smart city as one that lives at the intersection of data, technology and community to improve quality of life, resource efficiencies, and inclusive economic development. Through collaboration, we develop innovative solutions to pressing challenges for the benefit of the city and its residents that create a more resilient and sustainable future for the city. The Connected Dallas program’s mission is to connect all residents to opportunity through digital connection, internet access and skills.
