5G-MAG (Media Action Group) fosters collaboration between the media and information and communication technology (ICT) industries. A core objective is to drive the market-oriented implementation of technologies for the connected media world, leveraging global Internet and 5G access technologies. The work spans from conception of a use case, service or application, up to implementation of proof-of-concepts and products. Stakeholders in the end-to-end value chain are welcome such as content and service providers, network operators, technology solution suppliers, software developers, equipment manufacturers, R&D organizations, universities, regulators or policy makers. 5G-MAG is an independent not-for-profit association with its own legal identity, funding, governance, and administrative rules. The seat of the association is in Geneva, Switzerland.

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.

The Khronos Group is an open, non-profit, member-driven consortium of over 200 industry-leading organizations creating advanced, royalty-free interoperability standards for 3D graphics, augmented and virtual reality, parallel programming, vision acceleration, machine learning, and camera system runtimes. Khronos standards include Vulkan(R), Vulkan(R) SC, OpenGL(R), OpenGL(R) ES, OpenGL(R) SC, WebGL(TM), SPIR-V(TM), OpenCL(TM), SYCL(TM), OpenVX(TM), NNEF(TM), OpenXR(TM), 3D Commerce(TM), ANARI(TM), glTF(TM), and Kamaros(TM). Khronos members are enabled to contribute to the development of Khronos specifications, are empowered to vote at various stages before public deployment and are able to accelerate the delivery of their cutting-edge accelerated platforms and applications through early access to specification drafts and conformance tests.

Refine an open digital architecture to synergize virtual and physical traveler ecosystems

Network / cluster management in the field of XR: Our non-for-profit organisation comprises approx. 100 institutional members of XR end users, XR technology providers and XR research labs. Main goals of VDC business is first to support networking between our member organisations and second XR technology transfer to the industry, in particular to SMEs. We focus on B2B XR thus not XR gaming or XR entertainment. We provide the German XR community with relevant information on XR, including relevant norms, standards, guidelines on XR. We do formulate position papers adressed to politics and administration to foster XR usage. Latest position papers included XR standardisation needs and XR user interface design needs. We are active in XR standards mapping. We are member of Khronos, IEEE and DIN e.V.
