The Future of Innovation is Open

The Future Of Inovation Is Open

At AOMedia, we believe the most transformative innovations are open.

Founded in 2015, the Alliance for Open Media is a global collaboration of innovators working together to define and deploy standards that power the next generation of media experiences. Our members include pioneers in streaming, immersive media, chip design, and device manufacturing—united by a shared vision: to make media innovation simple, accessible, interoperable, and sustainable.

This commitment to openness is reflected in AOMedia specifications being developed under a royalty-free patent policy (Alliance for Open Media Patent License 1.0) and being supported by high-quality reference implementations under a simple, permissive license (BSD 3-Clause Clear License).

This open and collaborative approach ensures that real-world needs are addressed, empowering everyone, from startups to multinationals, who want to build new media experiences faster and more effectively, whether for professional or user-generated content.

From next-generation video codecs and immersive sound to real-time communication and emerging formats, our work ensures that creators, developers, and platforms everywhere can build with confidence and with minimal barriers.

We’re advancing a future where open collaboration fuels faster development, greater efficiency, and better experiences for everyone. Whether it’s streaming 8K video, on-demand or live, supporting user-generated content, or enabling cinematic storytelling on any device, the standards we create are designed for the real world, now and in the future.

The future of innovation is open.
