The first cohort
Founding members.
The founding cohort is the group of senior AI leaders convening the Forum’s first chapter sessions. Founding members hold a permanent seat at their chapter and a standing invitation to the annual Forum.
Not yet listed
Founding members are not named publicly until their organisations have confirmed.
This protects each member organisation during the period in which the Forum’s announcement is being aligned with internal communications, regulators, and external counsel. The Secretariat maintains the verified list internally and shares it with members on a need-to-know basis.
What founding members receive
- A permanent seat at their primary chapter, with first refusal on each session.
- A standing invitation to the annual Forum and to the State of Enterprise AI launch.
- Early access to the AI Governance Readiness Index and to all member-only briefings.
- Eligibility to stand for Council on the rotation that follows their second year.
Founding partners
The Forum does not have commercial sponsors. Founding partners are non-commercial institutions — regulators, multilateral bodies, sovereign entities — who participate in convening particular sessions where their remit is material to the question on the table.
