Open source software strategy 2020-2023.

On October 21st, the European Commission approved the new Open Source Software Strategy 2020-2023 of the Commission.

This is an important step towards achieving the goals of the overarching Digital Strategy of the Commission and contributing to the Digital Europe programme.

The internal strategy, under the theme ‘’Think Open’’, sets out a vision for encouraging and leveraging the transformative, innovative and collaborative power of open source, its principles and development practices.

It promotes the sharing and reuse of software solutions, knowledge and expertise, to deliver better European services that benefit society and lower costs to that society.

The Commission commits to increasing its use of open source not only in practical areas such as IT, but also in areas where it can be strategic.
