Institute for International Research (IIR), part of the Informa Plc, believes in the power of knowledge and skills to act as a lasting catalyst to organizational achievement. Established in 1973, IIR has a global network of 45 businesses and 116 operating units. Every year, IIR works with hundreds of thousands of business executives providing them with knowledge and skills through training, conferences, seminars, e-Learning, blended solutions, exhibitions, consulting and mentoring.

 

 

Informa was formed in December 1998 by the merger of IBC Group plc and LLP (Lloyd’s of London Press). Since then, the continual growth and vision of the company has been built around the supply of high quality, proprietary business-to-business knowledge through some of the longest-standing brands in the world of publishing, conferences, exhibitions and training.

 

Although we are a relatively young company, our bloodline dates back to 1734 when the first issue of the maritime publication Lloyd’s List was first pinned to the wall of Edward Lloyd’s City of London coffee shop. Today Lloyd’s List is still published daily and, along with other products and services, provides information, analysis and knowledge for business decision makers in the global shipping community.

 

Since then, mergers with the Taylor & Francis Group, a world-leading academic publisher in 2004, plus the acquisition of IIR Holdings and Datamonitor in 2005 and 2007 respectively, have built on our strategy to expand our business through both acquisition and organic growth.
