EU Open Source Policy Summit 2021

OpenForum Europe and the Linux Foundation are excited to invite you to the EU Open Source Policy Summit 2021

It’s becoming increasingly clear that ‘Open’ must play a central role as Europe addresses its pressing digital policy challenges. Open source and open technologies drive digital transformation in practice, and policies that support this process pave the way for European economic development and citizen empowerment. The EU Open Source Policy Summit will bring this squarely into the policy discussion.

With this Policy Summit, OpenForum Europe aims to facilitate an engaged and informed dialogue between a large array of stakeholders, who work at the intersection of politics and technology. Speakers and panelists will address the role of ‘Open’ in the green transition, the recovery packages, digital sovereignty and the EU’s competitiveness, as well as the sometimes polarized views of Digital Sovereignty.

In the end, we challenge ourselves to answer: how do we create a winning open source culture in Europe?

We look forward to enhancing the political debate at this critical juncture, as discussions of Openness move into a deeper understanding of the strategic role Open Source will play in Europe’s digital future.
