According to the official release, these principles are designed to ensure that, regardless of a supplier’s nationality, companies in this Alliance will adhere to common commitments of transparency, security and data protection which build trust and pass on the benefits of technology to people across the globe.
“In a time when the world is divided, 15 leading global companies from 10 countries are coming together to serve customers around the world,” the statement dated February 13, 2026, said.
“In response to an unprecedented pace of technological change and an increasingly complex environment, countries and customers are seeking greater reliability and resilience across technology providers and the services they deliver. At the same time, there is continued skepticism about digital technologies and their potential negative impact on individuals and societies. In this environment it is critical that companies from across the tech stack come together to address these concerns.
In defining the attributes for trusted technology and a set of operating principles to which signatories will adhere, TTA members are committing to work with governments and customers to ensure that the benefits of emerging technologies can accrue to broader public trust while driving job creation and economic growth.
The Alliance brings together leading companies committed to a shared set of clear, verifiable practices and principles that manifest how technology can be secure, reliable and responsibly operated, regardless of where it is built or deployed.
As of today, the signatories of the Trusted Tech Alliance are: Anthropic, AWS, Cassava Technologies, Cohere, Ericsson, Google Cloud, Hanwha, Jio Platforms, Microsoft, Nokia, Nscale, NTT, Rapidus, Saab, and SAP.
Participating companies have agreed to five specific principles that define what it means to develop, deploy, operate and cooperate as a trusted global technology provider:
- Transparent Corporate Governance and Ethical Conduct
- Operational Transparency, Secure Development, and Independent Assessment
- Robust Supply Chain and Security Oversight
- Open, Cooperative, Inclusive, and Resilient Digital Ecosystem
- Respect for the Rule of Law and Data Protection
These commitments require companies to have strong corporate governance and ethical conduct, build technology securely and manage it responsibly throughout its lifecycle, and use contractually binding security and quality assurances with suppliers. They will hold their suppliers to strong global security standards and support a digital environment that is open, cooperative, and encourages innovation.
The TTA will continue to grow its community of global providers dedicated to advancing a trusted, interoperable, and open technology stack and shaping shared approaches that support national and international efforts to strengthen sovereignty, resilience, and competitiveness.
