The Principal membership level is for organizations who are interested in committing time and resources to ensuring the strategic priorities are identified and achieved through the work of the Alliance. Our Principal members are responsible for driving the adoption of HAPS technology through various initiatives and partnerships in the ecosystem. Members at this level are eligible for leadership roles, including serving as a Director on the Executive Board or as a Chair of a working group.
The General membership level is for organizations that are interested in the development and use of HAPS technology. These member companies are fellow enthusiasts in the HAPS Alliance community, who offer keen insights as we advocate the advantages of HAPS technology and services and promote the work of the Alliance. General member companies are encouraged to actively participate in our Working Groups and events as industry experts and thought leaders.
The Supporter membership level is for organizations who are fellow promoters of HAPS technology and wish to be connected and informed of forward progress, events, and other Alliance news.
Your application will be reviewed by the HAPS Alliance membership team for completeness within three business days. If your application is complete, it will be sent to the Executive Board for approval. The approval period is one week.
