Digital sovereignty means not being reliant on a specific vendor. That’s why we build on the interoperable Matrix open standard, and support a competitive ecosystem.

Make decisions faster and work more efficiently across governments and public institutions.
Connectivity between organisations

Independence from siloed systems
The transparency of open source software, and building on the interoperable Matrix open standard means Element’s customers are never vendor-locked.
“Digital sovereignty means having choices, so no single technology and provider become a dependency that can be used against our interests. It is always good to have choices in order to avoid dependencies.”
