The corporate landscape of OSM gathered from interviews to employees
07-21, 10:30–10:50 (Poland), Plenary Auditorium

Employees of 25 companies that use OSM data or contribute to the overall OSM Ecosystem were interviewed. The goal was to see how the companies use the data, what motivates them to contribute value (data, tools, community-building, etc.) to the ecosystem, and the barriers they encountered.
