You can join us in three different ways, including as a free individual member of our growing constellation of experts. We operate a membership model to support the delivery of our services and solutions. Our funding blends research grants, philanthropic sources and commercial membership. These all apply across all programmes (including Open Energy, Perseus, Stream, etc.) and will be sign posted as you go through the sign up process.
Joining IB1 unlocks:
1. The IB1 Constellation: connect with an expert network of professionals
2. Icebreaking: engage in governance-led discovery and design of Schemes (data sharing rulebooks)
3. Trust Services: implement Scheme(s) in your business, at market scale
Constellations help identify Icebreaking candidates for implementation using Trust Services.
These are operated for and on behalf of all members to meet the needs of the market.
NB: use of IB1 Trust Services are not mandatory to deploy Schemes developed via IB1 Membership (other solutions may exist). Similarly Trust Services can aid the implementation of Schemes developed elsewhere. By providing these services together, IB1 aims to minimise the cost and friction in development and deployment, and supports the development of truly open source, interoperable, pre-competitive solutions.
