Ericsson, a multinational telecommunications company, has announced that 15 leading global technology firms have inaugurated the Trusted Tech Alliance to strengthen trust, security, and resilience across the digital ecosystem.
The President and Chief Executive Officer of Ericsson, Börje Ekholm, made the announcement in a statement on Sunday, following the launch at the Munich Security Conference.
Ekholm stated that the Alliance brings together companies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America to build a trusted technology stack spanning connectivity, cloud infrastructure, semiconductors, software, and artificial intelligence.
“No single company or country can build a secure and trusted digital stack alone. Rather, trust and security can only be achieved together,” he said.
Ekholm added that the Trusted Tech Alliance would continue to expand its membership to advance sovereignty, resilience, and competitiveness in the global digital economy.
David Zapolsky, Chief Global Affairs and Legal Officer of Amazon Web Services, emphasized that collaboration among like-minded industry peers is essential to promote customer trust and realize the full benefits of technology for the economy and society.
He noted that Amazon is joining the Alliance to reinforce its commitment to providing customers with trusted, secure, and resilient technology.
Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft, highlighted that in the current geopolitical environment, it is critical for like-minded companies to work together to protect security and advance high global standards.
Smith explained that the Alliance is based not on nationality but on shared commitments to customers, demonstrating that technology can be secure, reliable, and responsibly operated wherever it is deployed.
Strive Masiyiwa, Founder and Executive Chairman of Cassava Technologies, expressed pride in the company being a founding member of the Trusted Tech Alliance.
Masiyiwa stated that responsible leadership and global collaboration would ensure technology continues to enable human progress and inclusive economic development.
He emphasized that this is especially important for young people and future generations, as emerging technologies reshape economies and societies.
According to the statement, other companies in the Alliance include Anthropic, Cohere, Google Cloud, Hanwha Group, Jio Platforms, Nokia, Nscale, NTT, Rapidus, Saab, and SAP.
