The General Assembly (GA) is the highest body of the Association. Every full member has one vote. We have one physical General Assembly meeting per year. The GA decides on the general direction of the Association, for all major legal and financial changes and adoption of the annual budget.

The Management Board (MB) has the responsibility to conduct the management of the Association, including providing strategic direction, communications, membership, finance and overal management of the association. Members of the Management Board are elected by the General Assembly every two years.

The Steering Board (SB) consists of the chairs of the Working Group. The SB has responsibility for the development of the content, providing directions to and coordinating work between groups, and for relations with external partners.

AIOTI has at the moment 11 Working Groups (5 horizontal and 6 vertical groups) and 4 Interest Groups. Each Group has a Chair and Co-chair, nominated and elected by the members of that Group every two years.

AIOTI has a Secretariat led by the Secretary General. The Secretariat is supporting Management Board and Steering Board/Working Group operations, as well as supporting Management Board in performing day to day membership and financial management and providing operational support.

AIOTI’s key aim is to enhance innovation and economic development across the Internet of Things in Europe. To maintain European competitiveness on a global scale, this aim is best achieved by working not just within Europe, but also with key enabling actors across the world.

To this end, AIOTI is proud to collaborate on different levels with a range of organisations. Below is the list of our current international, European and standardisation collaborations.
