- 15 companies launch the Trusted Tech Alliance, led by Microsoft and Ericsson
- This launch comes as part of ongoing data sovereignty initiatives.
- Five fundamental principles define the Alliance’s commitment
Microsoft and Ericsson are leading the launch of the new Trusted Tech Alliance (TTA), which includes 15 tech giants, in hopes of appeasing customers, particularly when it comes to data sovereignty.
Announced at the Munich Security Conference, the TTA hopes to create and promote a “trusted technology stack” spanning connectivity, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, software and AI.
The launch comes amid growing data sovereignty concerns in Europe and Asia, which are largely seeking to reduce their dependence on US big tech.
Trusted Technology Alliance
“In today’s geopolitical environment, it is essential that like-minded companies work together to protect security and advance high global standards to preserve trust in technology across borders,” wrote Microsoft President Brad Smith.
Anthropic, AWS, Cassava Technologies, Cohere, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Hanwha, Jio Platforms, Microsoft, Nokia, Nscale, NTT, Rapidus, Saab and SAP are the 15 companies that make up the Trusted Tech Alliance launch.
The announcement details the five core principles that participants must adhere to: transparent corporate governance and ethical conduct; operational transparency, secure development and independent evaluation; robust supply chain and security oversight; an open, cooperative, inclusive and resilient digital ecosystem; and respect for the rule of law and data protection.
“TTA members are committed to working with governments and customers to ensure that the benefits of emerging technologies can enjoy broader public trust while driving job creation and economic growth,” the TTA wrote.
Although the Alliance has not detailed its next steps, we hope that more details on these five core principles will be shared as well as information on the verification process that ensures their compliance.
