Open Source at the Heart of Europe’s Digital Future

Europe’s new Open Source Strategy places open source at the centre of technological sovereignty, recognising that transparent, interoperable and sustainable digital solutions are essential to reducing dependency on non-EU technologies and strengthening Europe’s digital resilience.

The strategy promotes a full lifecycle approach to open source, from research and development to deployment, governance and long-term maintenance. It also highlights the importance of open digital ecosystems, public-sector adoption, interoperability and collaboration across borders.

This vision closely aligns with the mission of Simpl. As an open-source, secure and interoperable middleware, Simpl supports data access and sharing across European initiatives, helping to build the foundations of trusted data spaces. In particular, Simpl-Open provides modular, reusable components that enable organisations to implement interoperable data-sharing infrastructures in line with European values and standards.

The new strategy confirms that Europe’s digital future will be built on openness, collaboration and shared innovation. Simpl-Open is already turning these principles into reality.

Now is the time to engage with Simpl-Open. As Europe accelerates its open-source ambitions, adopting and contributing to Simpl-Open will be key to building secure, sovereign and interoperable data ecosystems across the Union.
