The Industry Connections (IC) program helps incubate new standards and related products and services by facilitating collaboration among organizations and individuals as they hone and refine their thinking on rapidly changing technologies. IEEE SA provides a basic level of support to all IC activities.
Industry stakeholders play a vital role by providing expertise, advocating for standards, contributing resources, validating relevance, and promoting awareness. This ensures that standards remain effective and impactful.
The IC program offers an efficient environment for building consensus and producing shared results. We provide a range of resources to fast-track content and deliverables, including:
- Proposals for standards
- White papers
- Peer-reviewed guides and position papers
- Workshops, and events
- Databases and registration services
Who Can Participate?
IC activities can be entity-based or individual-based, as specified in the Industry Connections Activity Initiation Document (ICAID).
