Wire

Wire is a secure-collaboration platform whose contracting entity is Wire Swiss GmbH (Zug, Switzerland), operating under the German parent Wire Group Holdings GmbH (Berlin). It is European-controlled: principal shareholders include Janus Friis, Cipio Partners, the Schwarz Group, and UVC Partners, with no US controlling stake — the 2019 Delaware holding company was unwound in 2020. Wire focuses on end-to-end encrypted messaging, calls, and file sharing for enterprises and governments, with reference deployments across EU public-sector bodies and hosting on European infrastructure.
