    The Sovereign Tech Agency (STA) is
    investing nearly €1.3 million
    in KDE through 2027. At Akademy 2026
    in Graz, Austria, Nate Graham and Kevin Ottens, two of the contributors who helped bring in the investment, explained how the funding was secured, provided tips on how projects should approach organizations like STA, and talked about how that money will be improving KDE for everyone. In addition to keeping the community informed about the work, the pair hoped to pass on what they have learned
    to encourage others to help raise funds for development as well.
