Governance

The Innovation and Transitions Foundation’s governance consists of three bodies:

• The Governing Board (decision-making body);
• The Strategic Orientation Council (advisory body);
• The Audit and Finance Committee (advisory body).

All mandates within these bodies are carried out free of charge.
