Salesforce was one of the main sponsors of a past edition. The company had multiple goals in mind, achieved through the following customized activities during the WMF days:

• a Salesforce event during the Festival, in a dedicated educational room.

• a customized stand inside the Expo Area.

• a talk on the Mainstage in front of a highly targeted audience of 5,000 people.

The Salesforce conference room explored Marketing Automation, Social Media Management, Big Data in Advertising, and Analytics Marketing.

On the Mainstage, Andrea Buffoni (Regional Sales Director) submitted a marketing report: "State of Marketing Report, between Artificial Intelligence and new market trends".

GoDaddy took part in the 2019 edition of WMF with its GoTour, a tour dedicated to the "True Enterprisers Competition". The contest offered €20,000 to promote a small or medium-sized company, a tech startup, or an individual enterprise. GoDaddy also enhanced the external Expo Area experience, sponsoring networking activities:

• A Beer Point and Relaxation Area, where the sponsor had the chance to host networking activities between the attendees.

• A Speed Meeting, an area dedicated to informal meetings, where participants could chat between them, illustrate their business realities and discuss their ideas during a 3-minute meeting.

After the Festival, the WMF supported the final act of the GoTour competition, held in Milan.

Mediaset has been supporting WMF since 2018.

In 2018, the Festival organized a Hackathon for its sponsor: the competition was entirely managed by the Festival's consulting department, alongside Mediaset Infinity's team.

This Hackathon focused on digital innovation and aimed at finding innovative solutions to increase the loyalty rate of Infinity users, through the analysis of the abandonment rate. Among the discussed topics during the Hackaton, were Big Data, Machine Learning, and Predictive Analysis.

In 2019, the Festival supported Mediaset Infinity in the organization of its own training event dedicated to Video Strategy. Among the topics addressed were Branded Entertainment, Video Metadata, and Creative Production.

For the second year in a row, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage has chosen WMF to launch initiatives and activities dedicated to the innovation of the national historical cultural heritage. For the 10th edition of the Festival, the formula chosen was a competition aimed at innovation startups pertaining to the cultural sphere, Startup4Culture.

With the collaboration with WMF during all the developing stages of the project, the competition registered more than 200 applications and involved Italian and foreign startups. The final took place on the Startup Stage, and the Italian startup Mezzoforte was awarded the final prize, presented directly by Ministry Digital Library Director Laura Moro.

The Ministry of Cultural Heritage was also present inside the Festival with a dedicated booth in the exhibition area, where it s showcased new advancements in tools and institutional projects.

At WMF2022, for the third year in a row, the European Parliament addressed the younger generations, encouraging their creativity in the realization of projects specified by the European institution. This has been achieved through the Europeans For Future hackathon, designed to involve young people in the construction of a social communication campaign, presenting different European programs.
Participants, backed by seniors and mentors of the digital sector, got into teamwork and had the chance to put into practice skills acquired during their education path, inside the context of an international fair, among international professionals, guests, companies, startups, and institutions.
All the communication campaigns produced during the Hackathon were then evaluated by a jury of experts and representatives of the European Parliament.
The three finalist teams were then awarded access to the upcoming events organized by the Festival, such as the WMF Summer School 2023, the New Year of Education 2022, and the WMF 2023.

During the three days of the WMF, EURid, the European organization in charge of registration of .eu domains, organized a presentation in a dedicated space, addressed to its registers to convey the newest developments and innovations in the sector.

At the end of the presentation, two networking moments took place: an afternoon aperitivo and a brunch, reserved for dedicated guests. The WMF supported EURid, both logistically and strategically, in the realization of these events. EURid was also present at the Festival with a branded exhibition space in the Fairgrounds, which has allowed the brand to complete its activities in a more agile manner and present itself to all the WMF attendees, by inviting them to prearranged activities.

Shopify was the main sponsor of one of the latest editions of WMF.

The context of the WMF delivered in giving outstanding visibility to the company during a moment in time when the global health emergency contributed to enshrining the success of online shops.

The partner carried out brand awareness activities such as a Mainstage talk by Shopify's Head of Italy, a branded e-commerce room, and an online booth on the WMF interactive platform as Main Sponsor.
