The Open Geospatial Consortium

Technology, innovation, standards, community, and more may all be found at OGC. We provide a level playing field for innovation, removing obstacles between firms that have historically competed. Become an industry partner, lead, or meet your potential teammates. OGC develops open, publicly accessible, royalty-free geospatial standards through a member-driven consensus process. At the forefront, OGC operates an agile Research and Development (R&D) lab called the OGC Collaborative Solutions and Innovation Program that develops and tests creative prototype solutions to members' use cases. It also actively studies and predicts new trends.
