History
GIMI was initiated by a worldwide group of chief innovation officers, innovation executives, academics and consultants in 2009. Our global advocacy for making innovation a professional business discipline is reinforced by our universally recognized standards and certifications, extensive academic programs, communities of practice, and professional development opportunities. In 2023, GIMI merged with International Association of Innovation Professionals (IAOIP), a membership association sharing a similar mission and actively involved in the development of innovation ISO standards. This merger marked the establishment of the largest professional organization on innovation worldwide.
