The global members of ACT | The App Association are innovative small businesses and enterprises changing the way we live, work, and play through apps and connected technology. Our members are leading the next generation of trailblazers working to solve problems and fill gaps across the app economy—from artificial intelligence (AI) and healthcare to privacy, education, and green tech—and they’re harnessing the power of the app ecosystem to drive change.

For our members to continue improving the lives of their customers and clients through safe, secure products—in addition to creating sought-after jobs in their communities and beyond—global policies must facilitate innovation and growth.

As 2024 begins and leaders around the world continue to govern, we share an open letter to global leaders and policymakers from the app developer community regarding various ways to empower the app economy’s brightest, most agile developers and businesses: our members.
