The European home for
digital commons
Five EU member states. Seven observers. Pooling resources to develop, maintain, and scale the open-source tools Europe depends on, for public services, businesses, and everyone who needs digital tools they can trust and adapt.
First projects
Two projects are under way. The first scales the national workspace suites Europe already has, making them interoperable and ready to deploy across borders. The second pools member-state investment into the open-source components we all depend on.
Make it work across borders
Europe already has national workspace suites: LaSuite (France), openDesk (Germany), MijnBureau (Netherlands). Our 100-Day Challenges are scoped sprints that make these suites interoperable and ready to deploy across any EU member state.
The 100-Day Challenges →Sustain the commons
All modern software depends on open-source components, yet their maintenance is chronically underfinanced. We are piloting a European Sovereign Tech Fund with Germany's Sovereign Tech Agency, pooling resources across member states to invest in the critical digital infrastructure everyone depends on.
