Calling itself the Coalition for Open Digital Ecosystems (CODE),
the group said it wants to promote more open platforms and
systems to boost growth and innovation in Europe.
The group said it will work with academics, policymakers and
companies on digital openness and how this can be achieved in
Europe "through the implementation of the Digital Markets Act
(DMA) and in future EU regulatory framework developments".
The DMA requires gatekeepers -- tech giants that control access
to their platforms -- to allow third parties to inter-operate
with the gatekeeper's own services and allow their business
users to promote their offer and conclude contracts with their
customers outside the gatekeeper's platform.
"We have had a number of conversations in the past few months
about what 'good' looks like when it comes to digital ecosystems
in Europe, what fosters innovation, and what will positively
impact competitiveness. We think openness is the crucial
element," Lynx founder Stan Larroque said in a statement.
Other members of the group are Chinese smart devices maker
Honor, China's Lenovo, French augmented reality start-up Lynx,
U.S. telecoms equipment maker Motorola, UK electronics maker
Nothing, Norwegian tech company Opera and German messaging
services provider Wire.
The Coalition said it aims to open up digital ecosystems through
cross-industry collaboration and promote seamless connectivity
and interoperable systems, among others.
