IKS is looking for CMS vendors/providers willing to become early-adopters
IKS Grant for 40 CMS Willing to Adopt Semantic Technology
As IKS moves from requirements specification to design and prototypes of the interactive knowledge stack, more and more software components are becoming available for testing and validation.
The Early Adopter grants are in the region of 5000 to 7000 Euro.
Here is how the IKS Early Adopter Scheme works:

Apache Stanbol
Apache Stanbol (currently in incubation) is an open source modular software stack and reusable set of components for semantic content management. The idea is to extend traditional content management systems with (internal or external) semantic services. Additionally, Apache Stanbol let's you create new types of content management systems with semantics at their core.
