FIWARE Foundation drives the definition - and the Open Source implementation - of key open standards that enable the development of portable and interoperable smart solutions in a faster, easier and affordable way, avoiding vendor lock-in scenarios, whilst also nurturing FIWARE as a sustainable and innovation-driven business ecosystem.

IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global community through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.

The mission of the Metaverse Acceleration and Sustainability Association (MASA) is to undertake activities to accelerate the development of metaverse-related technologies, ecosystems and markets across the world, and to do so in a sustainable manner, supporting sustainable development goals. Our workstreams include but are not limited to: - Landscape, Outlook, and Roadmaps - Open Standards, Conformity Assessment and Certification - Open-Source Reference Implementations and Pilot Applications - Digital Assets Pool and Exchange - Innovation-Driving Competitions and Rankings - Advocacy and Lobbying for Broad Acceptance and Adoption - Coordination for Responsible Development: Safety, Privacy, Ethics, Inclusion, and Sustainability - Metaverse Commercialization, Capitalization, and Monetization

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.

Oasis aims to redefine trust on the Internet through a Digital Sustainability Model that focuses on three key pillars: safety, privacy, and inclusion.

The Object Management Group(R) Standards Development Organization (OMG(R) SDO) is an international (27 countries), membership-driven (230+ organizations) and not-for-profit consortiumMISSION STATEMENTTo generate technology standards (250+) that provide quantifiable real-world value to all vertical industries. That is why we are dedicated to bringing together our international membership community of end-users, researchers and vendors in academia government and industry to develop and revise our standards as technologies change over time.VISIONTo provide a neutral forum where best practices from a wide range of fields can be discussed and standards can be generated that drive the adoption and innovation of cutting-edge technology spanning industries worldwide. Our Standards Process is fair, robust, transparent, and well-documented, while our standards are implemented everywhere: agriculture (DDS), autonomous vehicles (DDS), avionics (SysML & UML), business (BPMN), energy (DDS), finance (FIBO & FIGI), healthcare (DDS), military (DDS, SysML, UML), retail (UPOS), telecommunications, transportation (DDS), and space (DDS, GEMS, SOLM, XTCE, XUSP). Our one organization-one vote policy ensures that every member organization, despite size, has an effective voice in our voting process."

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 Spatial Web Foundation (SWF) is dedicated to ethical development and use of technology, particularly in the creation and implementation of the Spatial Web Protocol.

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.

XR Safety Initiative (XRSI) is a 501(c)(3) global non-profit Standards Developing Organization(SDO)that offers advisory services to promote privacy, security, and ethics in the emerging technology domain. XRSI's mission is to help build safe and inclusive emerging tech ecosystem.
