Trusted Future
Company bio
We stand on the precipice of a new era of technological progress and innovation with the potential to enable us to do things never before possible, vastly improve the quality of life for billions around the globe and help solve some of our world’s most intractable problems. But it is becoming increasingly clear that we risk missing or delaying these transformational opportunities if people lack the foundational trust in the technologies and services needed to deliver it. Today, our trust is at stake. An ever-increasing set of challenges threatens to undermine our foundations of trust. People are increasingly concerned about being able to protect their privacy, safety, and security online. They are concerned about inclusiveness, accountability, and whether tomorrow’s digital ecosystem will be better than today’s. Trusted Future is coming together around a shared belief that we need smarter, more pragmatic and informed efforts to help tackle today’s challenges and raise the level of trust in today’s digital ecosystem in order to expand opportunities for tomorrow.
