The GENIVI Alliance is a non-profit consortium founded on March 2, 2009 by BMW Group, Delphi, GM, Intel, Magneti-Marelli, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Visteon, and Wind River Systems.[1] The goal of the alliance is to establish a globally competitive, Linux-based operating system, middleware and platform for the automotive in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) industry.[1] Since its founding, the alliance has expanded to more than 100 members who are working together to deliver an open and globally consistent software platform based on Linux for use by the whole automotive industry.

Each of the Expert Groups is led by an Automotive OEM and supported by a Tier 1 supplier.
