Tech Giants Unite for Digital Sovereignty
14 Feb
Summary
- Fifteen global companies formed the Trusted Tech Alliance.
- The alliance prioritizes five core principles for technology use.
- It aims to counter growing digital sovereignty concerns.
A coalition of 15 prominent technology companies, spearheaded by Microsoft and Ericsson, has established the "Trusted Tech Alliance." This new group is founded upon five fundamental principles aimed at ensuring the secure and ethical utilization of technology worldwide.
The alliance's formation is a direct response to escalating global concerns over digital sovereignty. As nations increasingly focus on controlling their own digital infrastructure and data, this initiative seeks to provide a framework for trust and security across the technology supply chain.
Key principles of the alliance include robust corporate governance, ethical conduct, secure technology development, adherence to global security standards, and support for an open digital environment. Members will self-attest to these principles, with provisions for independent assessments.
Companies involved represent diverse sectors including connectivity, cloud infrastructure, AI, and software. The alliance's success will be measured by its ability to foster collaboration and counter the trend of technological fragmentation among nations.
