#OSM benefits when the companies who use its data support the project through Corporate Memberships. In 2024, 8 new companies joined and 5 increased their giving.
First, long-time members @esri, @meta and @msft have joined @tomtom at the Platinum giving level. Thank you!
Also good news: 5 new companies are now supporting #osm at the Silver giving level! @NianticLabs @qgis @calimotoApp @mapy_cz and @ioki_mobility. Welcome!
“OpenStreetMap Foundation’s community-driven approach helps keep the map of the world as accurate as possible. As map lovers and builders ourselves, we are excited to help support the OSMF mission” --Yennie Solheim, @nianticlabs
Even more good news: E–SMART (https://esmartcontrol.com/) and LANDCLAN (https://landclan.com/ ) are new joiners at the Bronze level. We are also grateful that @interline_io and @VersoWearable both upgraded their membership from Supporter to Bronze.

@openstreetmap Do corporations like Microsoft, who runs an own map service (Bing Maps) and thus being direct "competition", have any say in OSM decisions?
@openstreetmap congrats for getting Niantic as a sponsor! Overdue but welcome nonetheless.
