Organisation Members
iFixit does not have any members. However as a founding member and steering group member of the Right to Repair Europe coalition, we do represent the interests of its members. The members list can be found here: https://repair.eu/our-network/ Various organisations that we work with globally are listed here: https://www.ifixit.com/collaborations. However as far as our EU policy work is concerned, Right to Repair Europe is arguably the only relevant network. We don't represent the interests of our commercial partners.
