IKS is looking for CMS vendors/providers willing to become early-adopters

IKS Grant for 40 CMS Willing to Adopt Semantic Technology 

This year, IKS will go from requirements specification to design and prototypes of the interactive knowledge stack. There will be an "Alpha" version (available July - September 2010) which will mainly be validated by the industrial partners of the core consortium. (So the price for being a core industrial partner in IKS is that they will be the "guinea pigs" for our first attempts at enhancing CMS with semantic features!).

Then there will be a "Beta" Version (available April-June 2011) and that version is intended for our early adopters grant scheme. The grants will be in the region of 5000 to 7000 Euro. Here is how the IKS Early Adopter Scheme works:
