Join the Foundation! With 80+ member companies, we work together to grow Robot Framework, its ecosystem, and its amazing community.
Did you know the Foundation is technically a Finnish association? That means it’s driven by its members, for its members. 🇫🇮
And right now, we’re gearing up for the election of the new Board of Directors, who will help steer the Foundation through 2026. If your company is already part of the Foundation, you’re eligible to nominate a candidate. If not… well, you know what to do! 😉
