Together, we can create the digital future we want

A new era of control and choices

Around the world, people are working on opportunities for individuals and businesses to have more control over the information that fuels our digital world, so that we can create the digital outcomes we want.

A new suite of Web standards to achieve this is underway - called Solid. We're here to support the evolution of Solid in Australia.

For individuals

Control your digital privacy & property
Determine who accesses your property & why
Empower AI services, switch anytime, keeping your memory & knowledge

For communities

Strengthen digital sovereignty & agency
Accelerate national economic competitiveness & growth
Reduce online risks & harms

For businesses

Build trusted relationships with customers
From that foundation, create better digital services & experiences
Participate in a new data layer for the agentic Web

Solid is a new suite of web standards that enables individuals and organisations to house data in decentralised data stores, called Pods

"Solid is a vital third layer of the web"

Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Inventor of the Web

Creator of the Solid standards

Pods are like online homes for any type of data. When data is stored in a Pod, its owner controls who can access it, including which individuals, organisations, apps and AI services.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, instigated Solid as the foundation for a holistic update. The aim is to empower a new era of information control for all internet users, in turn igniting a new generation of digital sustainability, empowerment, and shared benefits.
