The EU Open Source Policy Summit will convene on 30 January 2026 in Brussels, with online participation available. The 2026 edition of the EU Open Source Policy Summit will bring together leaders from the public and private sectors to focus on one clear proposition: open source delivers digital sovereignty.

Participants will include policymakers from key Directorates-General (CONNECT, GROW, DIGIT, and BUDG), open source industry leaders, large IT users, and public administrations. Together, they will explore how open source can be mobilised to deliver practical, scalable responses to Europe’s most pressing digital policy challenges.

With its focus on alignment, governance, and cross-sectoral collaboration, the Summit will position open source not as an alternative path, but as the foundation of a sovereign, secure, and competitive European digital future.
