Regional PI Associations

The Regional PI Associations (RPAs) represent PI technologies worldwide and provide independent support in their regions. There are currently 23 RPAs.
 

They serve as local points of contact, grow their membership base and promote the technologies through marketing activities, events and publications. RPAs also provide on-site support to developers and users.
 

They work closely with Competence Centres, Test Labs and Training Centres, regularly exchanging information on shared topics and the latest developments.
