text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">The objective of the study launched by the European Commission is to investigate in detail the economic impact of Open Source Software and Hardware on the European economy. It will identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of Open Source in relevant ICT policies (e.g. cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digitizing the European industry, the connected car, HPC, Big Data, Distributed ledger technologies, etc.). Finally, the study should propose a list of policy options that can maximize the benefit of Open Source in support of a competitive EU software and hardware industry and a sustainable transformation of the EU economy.
