TECH7, established in 2021, unites national technology associations from the G7 countries. This coalition amplifies key global tech challenges and opportunities, driving action on digital governance, sustainable innovation, and emerging technologies. The alliance includes AFNUM (France), Anitec-Assinform (Italy), Bitkom (Germany), Digital Europe (EU), JEITA (Japan), ITI (USA), Numeum (France), TECHNATION (Canada), and techUK (UK). TECHNATION is the host of the 2025 TECH7.
TECH7 stands as a unified voice, proposing cohesive solutions on critical issues such as AI governance frameworks and international cybersecurity coordination. Building on its past successes—such as advocating for the G7’s adoption of the Data Free Flow with Trust (DFFT) concept—each TECH7 summit aims to further influence and advance global technology policy development.
Each year, the TECH7 is hosted in line with the G7 Presidency. The 2025 Summit will prioritize TECH7’s objectives while aligning with and complementing Canada’s G7’s goals of promoting inclusive economic growth, combating climate change and managing rapidly evolving technologies. A joint declaration will call for global collaboration on emerging digital issues, reinforcing TECH7’s mandate to foster innovation, productivity, prosperity and inclusion.
The Joint Declaration reflects our shared industry perspective on the most urgent and actionable priorities facing G7 digital leaders today. Grounded in a pragmatic understanding of political and economic constraints, our recommendations are designed to inform the G7’s work in 2025 and serve as a touchstone for collaborative implementation across public and private sectors.
