GENIVI Alliance: A Technology Alliance Formation

When BMW, Intel, and Wind River Systems approached Inventures in 2008, all they had was a big idea for a multi-stakeholder technology alliance that could radically change the way automotive software could be delivered. Other industries have been successful in leveraging open source software, but could a highly traditional automotive industry experience that same success?

Within months, Inventures helped the founders flesh out their concept, determined how to structure the development work, finalized the required legal operations documents, and publicly launched the Alliance at a major Europe-based IT conference. After a year, the alliance achieved more than 100 members, including well-known automakers, their global software, and their silicon providers - the complete ecosystem for in-vehicle infotainment systems.

Whether you're starting with a big idea or a ready-for-the-market solution, Inventures will help your vision down the path and get your organization running quickly. The faster you get members joining and funding coming in, the faster your alliance will be making a difference.
