Technology & Industry Sponsor

Support Specific Technical Activities

W3C has over 45 Working Groups driving the evolution of our Web Standards and over 15 Interest Groups focused on Use Cases and Requirements that are designed to be given to Working Groups to shape future evolution of our Standards. These groups are complemented by our recent implementation of Vertical Industry teams. These teams are providing leadership in the gathering of Industry Ecosystems so that we hear both the Technical and Business issues of a given Industry. The two programs below allow you to help us achieve success in these areas and give your organization marketing visibility on all of the activities associated with a given Technical Area.
