Element partners with Arawa to bring sovereign, open-standard federated communications to French local authorities

We’re delighted to announce that we’re now working with Arawa to support France's “fédération Matrix des collectivités.” Arawa has just started working with Adullact, the non-profit coordinating the usage of open source software within local authorities, and Déclic, the federation of OPSN (Public Digital Service Operators), to deliver and support its “Matrix pour les collectivités” project.

Cyber Resilience Act: What changes this week and how Element is preparing

On 11 September 2026, the first substantive deadline under the Cyber Resilience Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/2847, "the CRA") will come into effect. This Regulation entered into force on 10 December 2024, but it applies in stages, and this week’s date is the second of three stages. As from 11 September, manufacturers of products with digital elements placed on the EU market become subject to the reporting obligations set out in Article 14.
