Microsoft, Ericsson Lead Global Trusted Tech Alliance Amid Digital Sovereignty Surge

Microsoft and Ericsson, alongside 14 other global companies, formed the Trusted Tech Alliance on February 13, 2026, establishing five principles to ensure secure, ethical, and open digital technologies不受单一国家或供应商限制. The initiative responds to growing geopolitical focus on digital sovereignty, with the U.S. under former President Donald Trump prompting increased scrutiny and regulatory consideration in Europe and Asia. Members include Anthropic, Amazon Web Services, Google, Reliance Jio Platforms, Nokia, Cohere, NTT, and SAP. Companies self-attest to the principles, with independent assessments available, and aim to counteract the trend of national fragmentation in technology governance. The alliance spans connectivity, cloud, semiconductors, software, and AI.
