Members include 120 technology companies[1] and 41 national trade associations.[2] It seeks to ensure industry participation in the development and implementation of EU policies" and has several working groups that focus on different aspects of [policy](/source/Technology_policy)—environment, [trade](/source/Trade_policy), technical and regulatory and the [digital economy](/source/Digital_economy).[3][4][5] ## History The organization was founded in 1999 as the **European Information and Communications Technology Industry Association** (**EICTA**) by consolidating two former European organizations, **ECTEL** and **EUROBIT**, which represented the information and telecommunications industries.[6] EICTA expanded its scope to include the [consumer electronics](/source/Consumer_electronics) industry; on October 1, 2001, the association merged with the European Association of Consumer Electronics Manufacturers (EACEM). The new joint association changed its name to the **European Information, Communications and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry Association** (but kept its original acronym, EICTA).[7] On March 12, 2009, EICTA [rebranded](/source/Rebranded) as DIGITALEUROPE.[6][8] Overtime, its membership has expanded to include vertical industries such as healthcare, finance and manufacturing. ## Logos It previously developed the industry standards related to high-definition televisions. On September 5, 2014, DIGITALEUROPE released an [Ultra HD TV](/source/Ultra-high-definition_television) logo to certify companies that meet their technical requirements.[9][10] The technical requirements for the Ultra HD logo is that the display must have a [resolution](/source/Display_resolution) of at least 3840×2160, a video signal path that does not reduce the resolution, a minimum color space of [Rec. 709](/source/Rec._709), and [HDMI](/source/HDMI) input that supports HDCP 2.2 content protection.[11] ## Policy positions In November 2014, it published a paper called "Law Enforcement Access to Data in the European [Cloud](/source/Cloud_computing)" that asks the [European Commission](/source/European_Commission) to "consider filing an [amicus brief](/source/Amicus_brief)" with a [U.S. appellate court](/source/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Second_Circuit) regarding [Microsoft](/source/Microsoft)'s legal challenge of a [U.S. warrant](/source/Search_warrant) for a Microsoft user's private emails. As DIGITALEUROPE sees it, the fact that the data requested is stored on [servers](/source/Server_(computing)) located in [Dublin](/source/Dublin), [Ireland](/source/Ireland), means that U.S. authorities should use [mutual legal assistance treaties](/source/Mutual_legal_assistance_treaty) rather than strong-arming a U.S. [multinational](/source/Multinational_company), which raises concerns about [national sovereignty](/source/National_sovereignty).[12][13] In anticipation to the publication of [Neelie Kroes](/source/Neelie_Kroes)'s Digital Agenda,[14] DigitalEurope released a paper in May 2010 about Europe's digital future which was called A Transformational Agenda for the Digital Age DigitalEurope's Vision 2020. ## Members - [4iG Plc.](/source/4iG_Plc.) - [Accenture](/source/Accenture) - [Airbus](/source/Airbus) - [Applied Materials](/source/Applied_Materials) - [Amazon](/source/Amazon.com,_Inc) - [AMD](/source/AMD) - [Apple](/source/Apple_Inc.) - [Arm](/source/Arm_Holdings) - [Assent Compliance](/source/Assent_Compliance) - [Autodesk](/source/Autodesk) - [Avery Dennison](/source/Avery_Dennison) - [Banco Santander](/source/Banco_Santander) - [Bayer](/source/Bayer) - [Beko](/source/Ar%C3%A7elik) - [BMW](/source/BMW) - [Bosch](/source/Robert_Bosch_GmbH) - [Bose](/source/Bose_Corporation) - [Bristol-Myers Squibb](/source/Bristol-Myers_Squibb) - [Brother](/source/Brother_Industries) - [Canon](/source/Canon_Inc.) - [Capgemini](/source/Capgemini) - [CaixaBank](/source/CaixaBank) - [Cisco](/source/Cisco) - [CyberArk](/source/CyberArk) - [Danfoss](/source/Danfoss) - [Dassault Systèmes](/source/Dassault_Syst%C3%A8mes) - [Datev](/source/Datev) - [Dell](/source/Dell) - [EATON](/source/Eaton_Corporation) - [Epic Systems](/source/Epic_Systems) - [Epson](/source/Seiko_Epson) - [Ericsson](/source/Ericsson) - [ESET](/source/ESET) - [Ernst & Young](/source/Ernst_%26_Young) - [Fujitsu](/source/Fujitsu) - [Garmin](/source/Garmin) - [GSK plc](/source/GSK_plc) - [Google](/source/Google) - [Hewlett Packard Enterprise](/source/Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise) - [Hitachi](/source/Hitachi) - [Honeywell](/source/Honeywell) - [HP](/source/HP_Inc.) - [Huawei](/source/Huawei) - [ING](/source/ING) - [Intel](/source/Intel_Corporation) - [Intuit](/source/Intuit) - [Johnson & Johnson](/source/Johnson_%26_Johnson) - [Johnson Controls](/source/Johnson_Controls) - [Konica Minolta](/source/Konica_Minolta) - [Kyocera](/source/Kyocera) - [Lenovo](/source/Lenovo) - [Lexmark](/source/Lexmark) - [LG Electronics](/source/LG_Corp.) - [LSEG](/source/LSEG) - [Mastercard](/source/Mastercard) - [Meta](/source/Meta_Platforms) - [Microsoft](/source/Microsoft) - [Mitsubishi Electric Europe](/source/Mitsubishi_Electric) - [Motorola Solutions](/source/Motorola_Solutions) - [MSD](/source/Merck_Sharp_and_Dohme) - [NEC](/source/NEC) - [Nemetschek](/source/Nemetschek) - [NetApp](/source/NetApp) - [Nintendo](/source/Nintendo) - [Nokia](/source/Nokia) - [Nvidia](/source/Nvidia) - [OKI](/source/Oki_Electric_Industry) - [Oppo](/source/Oppo) - [Oracle](/source/Oracle_Corporation) - [Palo Alto](/source/Palo_Alto_Networks) - [Panasonic Europe](/source/Panasonic) - [Pearson](/source/Pearson_plc) - [Philips](/source/Philips) - [Pioneer](/source/Pioneer_Corporation) - [Qualcomm](/source/Qualcomm) - [RedHat](/source/RedHat) - [RELX](/source/RELX) - [ResMed](/source/ResMed) - [Ricoh](/source/Ricoh) - [Roche](/source/Roche) - [Rockwell Automation](/source/Rockwell_Automation) - [Samsung](/source/Samsung_Group) - [SAP](/source/SAP_AG) - [SAS](/source/SAS_Institute) - [Schneider Electric](/source/Schneider_Electric) - [Sharp](/source/Sharp_Corporation) - [Siemens](/source/Siemens) - [Siemens Energy](/source/Siemens_Energy) - [Siemens Healthineers](/source/Siemens_Healthineers) - [Skillsoft](/source/Skillsoft) - [Sky](/source/Sky_Group) - [Sony](/source/Sony) - [Sopra Steria](/source/Sopra_Steria) - [Swatch Group](/source/Swatch_Group) - [Tesla](/source/Tesla,_Inc.) - [Texas Instruments](/source/Texas_Instruments) - [TikTok](/source/TikTok) - [Toshiba](/source/Toshiba) - [TP Vision](/source/TP_Vision) - [United Health Group](/source/United_Health_Group) - [Vantiva](/source/Vantiva) - [Visa](/source/Visa_Inc.) - [Vivo](/source/Vivo_(technology_company)) - [VMWare](/source/VMWare) - [Waymo](/source/Waymo) - [Workday](/source/Workday,_Inc.) - [Xiaomi](/source/Xiaomi) - [Xerox](/source/Xerox) - [Zoom](/source/Zoom_Video_Communications) Source: ["Corporate Members"](https://www.digitaleurope.org/corporate/).
