The European open source industry is ready. The question is: is Europe? 🇪🇺 🕝 In less than 48 hours, the European Commission is expected to publish the EU Tech Sovereignty Package - a key moment for Europe's digital future.

This means public procurement should systematically assess open source alternatives before proprietary solutions ✅ Not to limit choice, but to ensure choice is transparent, visible and accountable. Europe's open source industry is ready to strengthen digital resilience, reduce dependency on vendor lock-in and support sustainable digital sovereignty.
