MPAI is a not-for-profit organisation incorporated under the laws of Switzerland with the mission to promote the efficient use of Data by A) developing Technical Specifications of 1) Coding and decoding for any type of Data, especially using new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, and 2) technologies that facilitate integration of Data Coding and Decoding components in Information and Communication Technology systems, and by B) bridging the gap between Technical Specifications and their practical use through the development of Intellectual Property Rights Guidelines ("IPR Guidelines"), such as Framework Licences and other instruments.

MPEG is the group that develops standards for coded representation of digital audio, video,3D Graphics and genomic data. Since its establishment in 1988, the group has producedstandards that help industry offer end users an ever more enjoyable digital mediaexperience.

Create standards, software repositories, and infrastructure for the Web3 metaverse

All real-world to digital world related use-cases that could benefit from open standards, protocols, architectures and best practice guidelines.

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) is an international consortium of more than 500 businesses, government agencies, research organizations, and universities driven to make geospatial (location) information and services FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. OGC's member-driven consensus process creates royalty free, publicly available, open geospatial standards. Existing at the cutting edge, OGC actively analyzes and anticipates emerging tech trends, and runs an agile, collaborative Research and Development (R&D) lab - the OGC Innovation Program - that builds and tests innovative prototype solutions to members' use cases.
