Founded in 1999, The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy (ICD) is an international, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization with headquarters in the United States and Germany. The major objectives of the ICD are to create platforms such conferences, symposia, and leadership forums, to promote and sustain inter--ultural dialogue on a number of levels, and to extend current research in the field of cultural diplomacy. The ICD maintains the belief that a localized approach, accounting for institutional and cultural differences, can optimize business practices, amplify benefits to social welfare, and open the door to greater levels of intercultural dialogue and understanding. Additionally, private sector networks provide an unparalleled opportunity to create a global atmosphere of dialogue, understanding and trust between nations. The private sector is an inseparable component of culture, and diplomacy is an essential element of responsible global business practices. The ICD works tirelessly to bring together corporate social responsibility and diplomacy as partners in creating a greater good.
