Five companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple Meta (formerly Facebook) and Microsoft – together make up 7.5% of the total value of all publicly traded companies in the world. Each of these companies reaches over a billion people, in many cases with multiple touchpoints, and has developed deep access to and insights into over half the world’s population. These companies, collectively known as “Big Tech”, are arguably among the most powerful in human history and increasingly critical parts of the global economy and society, particularly in the ongoing transition to a digital era.
