As Europe's first government organization dedicated to strengthening critical digital infrastructure, the #SovereignTechAgency is pioneering a new approach to public investment in open source. We are building a new kind of institutional capability in Germany: recognizing FOSS as essential infrastructure and investing in its long-term resilience.
Join to explore different financing frameworks, new business models, and cross-institutional collaboration strategies for #opensource ecosystems.

If you're wondering what's going on, since we just posted an opening for a new Communications Lead at the #SovereignTechAgency, I'm not going anywhere. When we fill this position, I'll be moving into a new role as Chief of Staff, applying the experience, context, and insight I've been honing in communications to more areas in the organization.
It feels like a good moment to look back on the last three-plus years. I joined when we were still the #SovereignTechFund, a single program with a handful of people (two of us as team members 5 & 6 started back in May 2023). Today we're the Sovereign Tech Agency, with multiple programs and a team that's grown several times over. Somewhere in that evolution, naming things (programs, the organization itself, even job titles) has been its own kind of work. Figuring out how to describe what we do to the outside world has, again and again, helped bring more clarity internally too.

The EU #TechSovereigntyPackage marks a decisive moment for Europe’s digital policy and for #OpenSource and the #DigitalCommons in particular.
The most important signal for the #SovereignTechAgency: the focus on maintenance and long-term sustainability. Open source already contributes to Europe’s #DigitalSovereignty; the components critical for public services, industry, and #DigitalInfrastructure must be reliably maintained, resourced, and governed over time. 1/

Der Vortrag erklärt am Erfolgsmodell der #SovereignTechAgency wie staatliche Investitionen in das Open-Source-Ökosystem digitale Infrastruktur stärken und resilienter machen können und wie das Zusammenspiel zwischen staatlichen Strukturen und Open-Source-Projekten gelingen kann. Außerdem geht es um zentrale Zukunftsfragen: Wie können öffentliche Investitionen in digitale Infrastruktur wirksam skaliert werden? Und was braucht es für langfristigen Impact?
