Why an App Developers Alliance?
• Legislators and others see the issues and can tend to blame the developers
• Small app developer companies are key to innovation but have had no voice.
• Regulation and legislation issues that impact App developers include:
– Privacy, Patents (European Unified Patent Court)
– Data Localization, Data Protection
– Consumer Protection, Tax, Net Neutrality
Regulation is usually written by incumbent players around their own business models…
• Making connections and networking and business education
– Connecting large and small companies, developers and funders
– Promotion of education and best practice
– Transatlantic and Pan-European connections
– Small start-up tech companies often have great ideas, but may need help to create a viable
business
• Working groups on issues that impact across the industry
– Collaborative teams producing resources for the app industry
Who is the App Developers Alliance?
• The Application Developers Alliance is a not-for-profit industry association
dedicated to meeting the unique needs of developers as creators, innovators, and
entrepreneurs.
• Today Alliance membership includes more than 30,000 individual developers and
more than 170 companies.
• We aim to be the rising tide of the industry, to deliver essential resources, serve as
a collective voice on policy issues, and act as the connective tissue in the app
ecosystem.
• The Alliance has been working for the last two years in the USA on issues such as
user privacy and patent reform
– Now we are expanding our activities in Europe
