How can I join the Wireless Power Consortium?

We have two types of membership: ‘regular’ and ‘associate’.

Associate membership will provide you (a) access to a Qi trademark license, (b) early access to draft versions of the specification, (c) the opportunity to influence the development of the specification by commenting on these draft specs, and (d) the possibility to participate in interoperability testing of prototypes. The annual membership fee is Euro 10,000.-.

Regular members are expected to make significantly higher investments of their own resources in terms of travel, participation in meetings, and in participation in prototyping and interoperability testing. The annual membership fee for regular mebers is also Euro 10,000.-.
The consortium charter sets a maximum to the number of regular members. In July 2010 we have increased the maximum to 18 and publisihed criteria for joining as regular member,
