Sovereign Tech AgencyAt the WSIS+20 meeting at the #UnitedNations, German Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation Dr. Karsten Wildberger shared in his remarks Germany's commitment to a free, open, and interoperable global Internet and why it’s important that the Sovereign Tech Agency exists: to strengthen #digitalinfrastructure that is essential for modern societies and to enable prosperity and collaboration.
“Open Internet infrastructure is built and maintained by contributors worldwide – often on a voluntary basis.”
Minister Wildberger also highlighted how Germany is strengthening this foundation:
“Our Sovereign Tech Agency maintains key open-source components that underpin security, stability, competitiveness, and innovation. By strengthening essential elements of global digital infrastructure, we aim to improve security and resilience.”
