作为创始成员，AT&T、思科、通用电气、IBM和英特尔将在选出的工业互联网联盟指导委员会中各自拥有永久席位，其他四席由选出的会员出任。指导委员会将负责执行领导和管理工作，以帮助各个组织利用这一巨大机遇。

Given the importance of this technology, the federal government is investing over $100 million/year in R&D related to cyberphysical systems, and has been partnering with the private sector on a series of testbeds in areas such as healthcare, transportation, smart cities, and increasing the security of the electric grid.

鉴于这项技术的重要性，联邦政府每年将为网络物理系统相关的研究投资超过1亿美元，并且正在与私营部门就医疗保健、交通运输、智慧城市等领域的一系列试验平台开展合作，并正在提升电网的安全性。

“By linking physical objects to the full power of cyberspace, the Industrial Internet promises to dramatically reshape how people interact with technology, “ said Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. “The Administration looks forward to working with public-private collaborations like the new IIC to turn innovative Industrial Internet products and systems into new jobs in smart manufacturing, health care, transportation and other areas.”

美国商务部部长Penny Pritzker表示：“通过将物理对象与网络空间的全部力量相连接，工业互联网有望大幅重塑人类与技术的互动方式。美国政府期待携手像新建立的工业互联网联盟这样的公私合作团体，把创新的工业互联网产品和系统转化成智能制造、医疗保健、交通运输和其他领域的新就业岗位。”

The IIC is open to any business, organization or entity with an interest in accelerating the Industrial Internet. In addition to gaining an immediate, visible platform for their opinions, consortium members will join in developing critical relationships with leaders in technology, manufacturing, academia and the government on working committees. The IIC will be managed by Object Management Group (OMG), a nonprofit trade association in Boston, MA.

工业互联网联盟向任何有志于推动工业互联网发展的企业、组织或实体开放。除了可立即获得可见的意见平台以外，联盟成员还将参与跟常务委员会的技术、制造、学术和政府领导者的关系拓展。工业互联网联盟将由马萨诸塞州波士顿的非营利性贸易协会——对象管理集团(OMG)进行管理。
