Sovereign Tech & Public-Interest Digital Infrastructure

Publicly backed funds that invest in open digital base technologies as public infrastructure: package managers, protocol implementations, core libraries, and developer tooling that societies depend on. Capital moves through government-funded allocators — Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency, the Netherlands-based NLnet Foundation channeling European Next Generation Internet money, and the US-funded Open Technology Fund — as structured grants and commissions to maintainers of critical open-source components.
