ALASKANS HOLDING AIDEA ACCOUNTABLE

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) is a State owned corporation with a longstanding track record of misallocated and often secretive investments in extractive industries across our state. AIDEA could instead invest wisely in a just and sustainable future for all Alaskans • Alaskans are watching AIDEA and demanding a stop to their egregious violations of public interest and public process. Below are snapshots of AIDEA’s failed investments, transparency issues, conflicts of interest, and recent news. • What happens in the Arctic happens to the World.









AIDEA’s board and staff aren’t serving Alaskans; they are making bad investments and need to invest our State’s precious resources in regenerative, not extractive economies.
