Sovereign Tech Agency
The Sovereign Tech Agency secures digital infrastructure in the public interest. Our mission is to strengthen digital sovereignty, fostering competition and innovation by investing in critical open source infrastructure and the ecosystems that support it. In this way, we are providing the basis for a stable, trustworthy, and democratic digital future.
We are a new organization at the intersection of technology, politics, and public stewardship. Our aim is not only to strengthen the open source ecosystem, but also to shape its future.
Open digital infrastructure is the backbone of the digital world. It is essential for the flow of information, for government, for business, and for innovation, much like roads and bridges in the physical world. The most effective strategy for building this infrastructure is open source software: it is the bedrock on which our digital society is built – powerful, collaborative, and democratic.
With a commission from the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, the Sovereign Tech Agency invests in critical software components, develops programs, and creates structures that sustainably strengthen the open source ecosystem, including the people behind the code.
Our work is unique: we are leading the way on how governments engage with open digital infrastructure and laying the groundwork for how modern societies ensure resilience, technological diversity, and public digital services.
Together, we are building Europe’s digital future – open, secure, and sovereign.
