Overview

• Google, Meta, Qualcomm, and seven other tech companies have formed the Coalition for Open Digital Ecosystems (CODE) in response to new EU technology regulations.

• CODE's membership includes diverse technology players such as Chinese smart devices manufacturer Honor, Lenovo from China, French augmented reality start-up Lynx, U.S. telecom equipment maker Motorola, U.K.'s electronics maker Nothing, Norwegian tech company Opera, and German messaging service provider Wire.
• The coalition's objectives include promoting cross-industry collaboration, facilitating seamless connectivity, and advocating for interoperable systems to open digital ecosystems.
