2026 Tech Policy Forecast

We’re delivering a 2026 Tech Policy Forecast for small tech innovators around the globe. We break down what to expect from 2025 into 2026, the policy debates emerging across the EU, UK, and U.S., and how and why legislation drafted without startups and SMEs becomes a real barrier to building, scaling, and raising capital. From online safety and encryption to age verification, curated online marketplaces and competition proposals, AI governance, and the standards and SEP landscape, we map what to watch and what it means for the digital economy in the year ahead.
