Helping Businesses Harness AI

At ICIC, we believe AI holds real promise to level the playing field for small businesses. In today’s fast-changing landscape, entrepreneurs need every advantage to compete and grow. Our AI in Business report revealed that many small and midsize firms still face knowledge gaps, implementation challenges, and concerns about responsible adoption. ICIC is committed to making AI a resource, not a barrier, so small businesses can thrive.

Partnering for Progress: Intuit and ICIC

To meet the growing demand for AI education, ICIC partnered with Intuit to launch the Intuit More with AI Tour. This series of six half-day events brought more than 350 small business owners together in cities across the U.S. Through expert-led workshops, attendees explored practical applications, test-drove AI tools, and built confidence in using AI responsibly. In Arlington, Texas; Boulder, Colorado; Indianapolis, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; Mountain View, California; and New Haven, Connecticut, the tour delivered knowledge that fuels growth and confidence.

AI-Forward Learning for Future-Ready Skills

Small businesses prosper when technology feels approachable, not overwhelming. That’s why every ICIC-delivered program now includes AI training designed to meet business owners where they are. With support from Intuit, our curriculum focuses on practical applications—marketing, customer engagement, finance, operations, and procurement—paired with hands-on practice and ready-to-use templates.
