Element

Element Creations Limited, trading as Element, is a private UK software company that provides secure collaboration and messaging built on the Matrix open standard. Its products include the Element client, Element Pro and Element Server Suite, plus deployment and support services for self-hosted, managed, sovereign and air-gapped environments. The company serves enterprises, governments, defence organisations and regulated industries that require encrypted communications, interoperability and control over data and infrastructure. Element generates revenue from enterprise software subscriptions and associated services rather than from advertising or consumer monetisation. Its business model uses a free and open-source client to drive adoption, then monetises organisations through paid enterprise tiers, managed hosting, deployment services, SLAs and specialist mission-critical solutions. The customer base includes major public sector and defence institutions such as NATO ACT, the United Nations, the US Department of Defence, the French government and Germany's Armed Forces.
