Today in The Hague, the #DigitalCommons #EDIC’s official launch is taking place—a consortium designed to strengthen Europe’s shared capacity to develop, maintain, and scale essential digital infrastructure.
We have been engaged in the effort from its earliest stages, contributing experience in building structures that sustain open, interoperable technologies. Our managing director, Adriana Groh, spoke at today’s event on the panel “Future Strategies for the Digital Commons EDIC.”

Europe’s economy relies heavily on technology of all kinds. The #DigitalCommons EDIC establishes a shared European vehicle to
– enable coordinated investment in open technologies,
– improve interoperability across markets,
– lower barriers for European companies, and
– create better conditions for innovation and long-term economic competitiveness.
Open standards, free and #OpenSource software, and other digital commons form the base layer on which European products, services, and businesses 2/4
are built. Ensuring that these components are reliable, secure, and sustainably maintained is essential not only for public services but also for industry, research, and the wider economy.
The consortium provides Member States with a common framework to invest, align strategies, and accelerate shared infrastructure — helping open European solutions scale beyond national borders and reducing structural dependencies in key technology domains.
