Welcome to the Working Group 1 - Technology Standards Community!

Thank you for your interest in this Community, which is part of the larger EU-US Trade and Technology Council Community on Futurium. This community was a virtual space for businesses, public authorities, innovators, researchers, civil society, and policymakers to shape the EU and US discussions in the Trade and Technology Council during the period 2021-2024.

The Trade and Technology Council was set up at the June 2021 EU-US summit and served as a forum for the European Union and the United States to coordinate approaches to key global trade, economic, and technology issues and to deepen transatlantic trade and economic relations based on shared democratic values between 2021-2024. 

The Technology Standards working group activities focused on developing approaches for coordination and cooperation in critical and emerging technology standards including AI and other emerging technologies. It supported the development of technical standards in line with the EU’s and US’ core values, and recognizes the importance of international standardisation activities underpinned by core WTO principles.

As this cooperation format is no longer active, this Community will be closed as of 30 September 2026. 

The EU-US Trade and Technology Community team
