Short description:
The objective of the study is to investigate in detail the economic impact of 
open source software and hardware on the European economy. The study should 
identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of open source 
in relevant ICT policies (e.g. cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI), 
Digitising the European industry, the connected car, HPC, big data, 
distributed ledger technologies, etc.). The study should gather evidence in 
monetary terms of the footprint of open source in the EU economy.

the benefit of open source in support of a competitive EU software and 
hardware industry and an eco-friendly transformation of the EU economy.
