PII is on a mission! How do we build the Northeast Corridor as the world’s most powerful urban innovation engine? It starts with collaboration and shared alignment on values. Our CAIL initiative aims do just that:

Along the 215 miles connecting Boston and New York City runs one of the world's most concentrated pathways of intellectual capital, research infrastructure, and innovation capacity. Yet this corridor has largely functioned as a collection of distinct regional ecosystems rather than as an integrate...

We're evolving!

The Institute for Technology & Global Health (ITGH) is now The Public Innovation Institute (PII) , reflecting our expanded mission to accelerate innovation and invention for the public good.

What began as a program connecting students, researchers, and city leaders around health and technology has expanded across six core areas: Global and Public Health, Education and Workforce Innovation, Climate and Environment, Economic Transformation, Civic and Digital Infrastructure, and Data and Responsible AI.

Our goal remains the same: to connect research, policy, and practice, and to build capacity for innovation that strengthens public institutions and improves lives.

In the weeks ahead, PII will launch a series of new initiatives designed to strengthen public sector capacity for innovation and governance. These include new municipal partnerships, greater private sector engagements, and expanded opportunities for students through our existing and new programs. Each initiative builds on our core belief that public institutions can and must lead in shaping the future of innovation.

We invite our partners, alumni, and collaborators to follow our continued work at www.thepii.org

From public health and climate resilience to education, civic infrastructure, and responsible AI, our work empowers cities, communities, and individuals to imagine—and build—a more just and equitable future.
