Alphabet’s Google, Meta Platforms, Qualcomm, and seven other prominent tech companies have joined forces to establish the Coalition for Open Digital Ecosystems (CODE). This alliance responds to new EU tech regulations and seeks to champion open platforms and systems for enhanced growth and innovation in Europe. With members including Honor, Lenovo, Lynx, Motorola, Nothing, Opera, and Wire, CODE aims to collaborate with academics, policymakers, and businesses to implement digital openness, particularly aligning with the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
The DMA mandates tech gatekeepers to allow third-party interoperability and enables business users to operate outside the gatekeeper’s platform. By promoting cross-industry collaboration and seamless connectivity, CODE strives to foster open digital ecosystems, ultimately contributing to a more competitive and innovative tech landscape in Europe.
