racy the initiative is guided by democratic principles promoting transparency accountability and citizen participation in the digital sphere security prioritizing the security and resilience of digital systems and infrastructure we recognize the crucial role of open source in enabling thorough security audits and protecting against cyber threats sustainability supporting the development and use of energy efficient and environmentally conscious technologies contributing to a sustainable digital future for europe trust in institutions by promoting openness and transparency we aim to strengthen public trust in european institutions and the digital solutions they endorse freedom of choice advocating for open source solutions to empower users with choices avoid vendor lock in and foster a competitive digital marketplace these values initially presented in 2020 to guide the european commission s open source strategy remain highly relevant today they form the bedrock of the eurostack initiative reflecting our commitment to building a digital future for europe that is not only technologically advanced but also ethical inclusive and firmly aligned with fundamental european principles core principles european values as outlined above interoperability foster seamless integration and compatibility between different technologies and platforms collaboration encourage partnerships between governments smes and open source communities to drive innovation open source first prioritize open source software oss as the foundation for all digital solutions ensuring transparency security and autonomy sustainability promote energy efficient and environmentally friendly technologies our approach the eurostack directory project will undertake several strategic actions to achieve its mission one primary project is the eurostack directory project which will focus on creating a comprehensive directory of european made and or european supported digital technologies and solutions we also support within the framework of the eurostack initiative other strategic actions beyond the directory including collaborative frameworks establish collaborative frameworks that bring together national governments smes and open source communities to drive innovation and implementation open source first advocate for policies like open source first in public procurement and public money public code to prioritize open source solutions in publicly funded projects educational initiatives develop cross border educational programs that focus on open source development and cloud technologies fostering a culture of openness and self reliance sustainable funding advocate for targeted funding instruments within horizon europe and other r d programs to support open source smes and independent projects regulatory harmonization streamline regulatory and operational hurdles ensuring flexibility and support for diverse players in the tech ecosystem the challenge the last decade s trend of us and asian cloud companies growing more rapidly than european companies can be changed young and innovative smes can and should play a key part in fueling european innovation europe needs to strengthen its sme ecosystem through dedicated support allowing innovation and technological assets to stay in europe and contribute to innovation digital sovereignty and competitiveness for that to happen these companies must continue to develop and grow within the european context rather than being acquired by companies from other parts of the world the acquisition of european innovators by foreign companies leads to european know how technology and assets being siphoned off to other regions this trend is highly prevalent in the cloud industry the innovation power of european cloud smes needs to be recognized and supported as it will allow europe to build a more cost effective and innovative cloud infrastructure and healthy ecosystems this will foster the development of use cases ranging from big data edge cloud platforms to effective iot applications for smaller enterprises and municipalities technical vision the eurostack initiative encompasses a multi layered approach to building a robust digital infrastructure for europe through strategic investments coordinated efforts and adherence to open standards we will address the critical challenges of fragmentation dependency and sustainability the eurostack directory project will be a cornerstone of this initiative providing a curated list of technologies and solutions that
