Yesterday I attended the first Democratic Tech Alliance (DTA) Assembly over at the European Parliament. The DTA is a political/think tank/civil society/industry initiative that hopes to foster a tech-ecosystem on which we can continue to run our European democracies. Because it is not looking good. Useful progress was made, and here is what I learned: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/democratic-tech-alliance-may-2026/
The First Democratic Tech Alliance Assembly - Bert Hubert's writings

Yesterday I attended the first assembly of the Democratic Tech Alliance (DTA), which gathered in the European Parliament. Membership of the alliance includes European political groups like the Greens/EFA, the liberal/center right Renew Europe, the European Peopleโ€™s Party of Christian democratic, conservative and liberal-conservative persuasion and also the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. This is a broad, quite sane and actually impressive collection of political groups, which gives me some hope.
