Commercial support and services for all supported projects, fostering collaborations and partnerships with the business and other organizations, and offering resources such as funding, infrastructure, and developer, management and administrative staffing all support the growth and success of the projects that have adopted the Corporation.

The Corporation organizes various events. An overview can be found on our events page.

The Business Advisory Committee (BAC) is an advisory group that provides strategic advice, guidance, and insights on business-related approaches. Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is an advisory group that provides strategic advice on technical issues, challenges and technical guidance to a project. Both groups are formed with the Corporation. The Foundation also has its own BAC and TAC.

Membership in the BAC and TAC involves a nomination and election process. We encourage any community member to stand for one of the advisory committees to represent the views and needs of the community you are part of.
