Clip of Federal Minister for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, Dr. Karsten Wildberger, speaking at the WSIS+20 (World Information Society Summit), 16 December 2025 "An open Internet underpins modern societies and is essential for prosperity and sustainable, human-centered development. Its strength comes from a decentralisation and cooperation among governments, civil society, business, academia, the technical community, and users. This is a global endeavour. Open Internet infrastructure is built and maintained by contributors worldwide – often on a voluntary basis. Germany is committed to these open principles and supports the people behind the code. Our Sovereign Tech Agency maintains key open-source components that underpin security, stability, competitiveness and innovation. By strengthening essential elements of global digital infrastructure, we aim to improve security and resilience."
