ABOUT TIIDA

The International Institute of Data and AI (TIIDA) traces its origins to 1999, when it was incorporated in the State of Delaware. At a time when information technology was rapidly transforming industries, a group of researchers, educators, and experienced IT professionals came together with a shared vision: to advance technology education, provide consulting services to government and commercial organizations, and equip individuals with the practical skills needed to succeed in the digital workforce.

Over the past three decades, the organization has evolved alongside the technology landscape. Today, TIIDA operates as an independent nonprofit institute dedicated to advancing research, education, professional development, and certification in the fields of data, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital transformation.
