About

Building evidence infrastructure from the ground up

IfD Tech is an AI and digital innovation firm dedicated to making knowledge systems smarter, more accessible, and more impactful.

Who we are

Infrastructure for living evidence systems

IfD Tech builds infrastructure for living evidence systems.

We develop AI-powered platforms and workflows that help evidence intermediaries, funders and foundations, NGOs and programme teams, and universities and think tanks produce, update, and use decision-ready evidence—faster, more transparently, and at scale.

Inspired by real-world implementation through the Institute for Development (IfD), our systems are designed for organisations that cannot afford weak evidence workflows.

At IfD Tech, we believe that knowledge should power change. That's why we create digital solutions that are not only innovative, but also practical, ethical, and transformative for the communities and institutions that use them.
