The goal of this forum is to maximize cross-fertilization between research and industry.

"I am very pleased that ESWC has maintained its distinctive strong industrial involvement, both through its Industry Forum which aims to present current and future requirements of Business, Industry and Services to the leading research community and technological solution providers in Semantic Web technology, and through strong industry involvement in the workshops and main conference programme." Said Dr John Davies, project coordinator SEKT.
