Shape the roadmap
Consortium partners co-steer what ships next. Your operational reality becomes a first-class input. The backlog is shared, not proprietary.
Community
Who is building the future?
Experts, builders, researchers, founders, and supporters work together to identify real problems and shape the future they want to build.
Consortium
A shared infrastructure model, co-stewarded by the organizations using it
OpenHI is not a single company's product. It is a consortium, an intentional structure where the organizations deploying the software also shape its direction, share learnings, and collectively hold the commons. Consortium members receive early access to platform work two years before the public.
Why a consortium
Four reasons this structure matters
We structured OpenHI as a foundation-held consortium on purpose. These are the properties the model gives the organizations who adopt, contribute to, and depend on the infrastructure.
Contribute and benefit
What you build to solve your problem can solve the same problem for every other partner. Contributions land in a commons so the work compounds across the community.
Share learnings, honestly
Deployment stories, what worked, what didn't, and what surprised us, are published openly. Every partner avoids relearning the same expensive lessons alone.
Open by structure
Because OpenHI is stewarded by a 501(c)(3) public charity and co-steered by the consortium, no single organization can lock in the infrastructure, including us.
Who's at the table
Partners, implementers, and communities
The consortium is open to organizations operating across eight sectors, not just observers, but the people actually deploying and depending on the infrastructure.
- Healthcare systems, public health agencies, and research institutions
- Agriculture cooperatives, food systems operators, and rural networks
- Energy utilities, grid operators, and clean-power implementers
- Transportation, communications, and environmental agencies
- Technology teams building sector-specific applications on shared primitives
- Domain-expert networks across clinical, agronomic, engineering, and operational fields
- Implementation partners, systems integrators, and standards communities

Community
Starting in Atlanta. Building everywhere.
OpenHI began in Atlanta, Georgia. We are building community hubs around the world where local builders, researchers, and organizations can collaborate on shared infrastructure for humanity.
