Open Source Community Meeting
Digital sovereignty through open source: Connect with the open source community in Vienna.
How can open technologies strengthen our digital future?
The Open Source Community Meeting at Open Data Expo 2026 will focus on the interaction between open source, artificial intelligence and digital sovereignty. Together with the Vienna open source community, we will highlight the contribution open systems make to digital sovereignty and show how transparency and collaboration foster innovation and independence.
Open source and AI, digital sovereignty in national defence, open source funding initiatives and smart data approaches in the energy sector: this meeting offers a great networking opportunity, a chance to exchange experiences and gain new inspiration for your own projects.
