Morphology
Three-I + league
Although 'league' transparently denotes an organized group, the element 'Three-I' is a proper-name/acronym-like form that is not compositionally interpretable by simply knowing 'three' and 'I'. A B1 learner would not be able to infer that the three 'I's stand for innovation, investment, and inclusion, so the overall meaning of the MWE is not derivable from its parts and requires extra-world knowledge.
Etymology
Three-I League comes from three words that all start with the letter 'I': innovation, investment, and inclusion. So the name reminds people it is 'a group that promotes innovation, investment, and inclusion' and helps members meet each other and find support.
