CIOs & top managers
Setting migration strategy for the whole organisation.
European digital sovereignty, built together
Euro
Migrate together towards open source digital commons.
Demand and supply coalitions help European organisations leave monopolistic big-tech software for interoperable, European-governed infrastructure.
Together. Project by project. With peers facing the same problems.

Why now
The way out is collective.
Open alternatives already exist. Coalitions give CIOs, providers and financiers the shared demand, standards and funding needed to deploy them at European scale.
The eleven coalitions
Europe’s critical digital stack, organised by coalition.
Coalition 04 is in progress. Five coalitions are on the launchpad with founding workshops scheduled, five more are coming soon — and the radar is open to your proposition.

Who should join
For the people deciding what Europe runs on.
Financiers
Backing the European stack behind the collective shift.
Large & mid-market firms
Bringing real scale to demand-side coalitions.
Providers & builders
Building open, governed alternatives on the supply side.
Software users
Representing the teams who will work with the new stack.
Consultants & integrators
Turning coalition decisions into interoperable systems.
Demand & supply
Two sides, one table.
Each coalition brings demand organisations and supply providers to the same founding workshops — matched, then working from the same roadmap.
Demand side
You run big-tech software and want a credible way out.
- What it is
- The group of organisations that use the software — CIOs, IT directors, business and public-sector leaders — who jointly define shared requirements and plan the migration away from monopolistic providers, coalition by coalition.
- What to expect
- An invitation to your coalition’s founding workshop, a room of peers facing the same dependencies, a shared requirements and migration roadmap, and access to matched supply-side and financing partners.
- What you can contribute
- Real workloads and use cases, functional and security requirements, reference migration cases, and a willingness to pilot the commons on part of your stack.
- What’s in it for you
- Shared cost and risk, collective leverage no single organisation has alone, an interoperable stack under European governance — and an exit path, project by project, with no strings attached.
Supply side
You build, host or integrate the open alternatives.
- What it is
- The group of open-source publishers, hosting providers, integrators, consultants and financiers who build, maintain and fund the alternatives the demand side needs.
- What to expect
- Direct access to pooled European demand, co-construction of product roadmaps with CIOs and financiers, and clear coalition-level priorities instead of scattered one-off tenders.
- What you can contribute
- Mature open-source capabilities, hosting and integration capacity, expertise and standards work, and co-investment in shared commons components.
- What’s in it for you
- A qualified pipeline of large and mid-market accounts, visibility at coalition scale, a seat in shaping the standards — and lower sales cost through collective demand.
Catalyst
You can join and contribute in other ways.
Integrators, professional services firms, consultants, financiers and public institutions often act as catalysts — facilitating workshops, translating coalition requirements into delivered systems, co-funding commons components and connecting the two sides. Third parties who help organise, implement or finance the migration can augment the value of every coalition, on both sides at once.
Take a catalyst seatNot sure which side you are on? Consultants, integrators, financiers and public institutions often sit on both. Pick the closest in the form — the team will place you.
