ADIF’s work and latest activities

We partnered with the Coalition for App Fairness to support a free and fair app marketplace for all developers. The partnership has come on the heels of a conference on app ecosystem fairness held in South Korea where the discussion centered around the need for regulating the application ecosystem.

Several industry leaders and developers stressed the importance of joint efforts to take on the duopoly of Apple and Google – which is the aim behind joining forces with CAF, an independent global non-profit organization formed to protect consumer choice, foster competition, and create a level playing field for all app and game developers worldwide.

As part of the partnership, we will collaborate to create joint advocacy positions and amplify events, content, and efforts.
