Sponsoring Innovation
The Auto-ID Center welcomes new sponsors from all industries and all geographical regions. Since the Center's mission is to create a global network based on open standards, sponsors receive no intellectual property rights. What they do get is intimate access to groundbreaking research, both through participation in Center activities and meetings and through a sponsors only area of our website. Sponsors have a rare opportunity to influence the development of a new global business network and gain head-start insights that can be used to develop strategic plans.

End-user sponsors - those that will buy EPC-related technologies - are eligible to join the Center's Board of Overseers. All Overseers are required to make a one-time donation of $300,000. Vendors that plan to sell EPC-related technologies or services are eligible to join the Technology Board. All technology vendors are required to donate $50,000 to $150,000, depending on their annual sales. Non-profit trade organizations with at least 10 members can become EPC Alliance partners without making a donation. EPC Alliance partners are kept informed about the Center's research and invited to special partner events, in return for their support of and input on the Center's proposals.

Calendar October 28 - 30, 2003 - Board Meetings, Tokyo
