Hub
Open Source
Bringing together members of different sizes, scopes and ambitions; federating the Hubs through their technological expertise; propelling the cluster’s challenges towards European success. The Open Source Hub: it’s about irrigating & growing.
The missions of the Open Source Hub are multiple. The first is to act as a platform for cross-disciplinary exchanges, both between its members and between Systematic’s Hubs and Stakes, where it will play a unifying role, creating levers and bridges for collaborative innovation.
AI is another context where most of the founding solutions are free and the many products based on them are not. Our technological ambition is therefore to fluidify the access to Open Source between end-users and open solutions.
Protecting users by educating publishers and suppliers is the major social issue for the Open Source community in a world tending towards increasingly digital and automatic approaches, favoured by the arrival of 5G and IoT deployment.
Economically speaking, the challenge is to reconcile the social progress driven by Open Source software with the commercial and financial constraints of the players in its ecosystem.
As publisher of the Systematic Blue Book, which offers an expert view of technologies and market specifics, the Open Source Hub also has a highly acclaimed editorial showcase.
A digital platform called Pulse! to optimise participation in the event and access more content remotely, for longer.
There’s certainly plenty to bring together and unite the entire Open Source community and user companies looking for information on this major lever for innovation at the Palais des Congrès de la Porte Maillot in Paris.

Cyber & Security Data Science & AI Digital Infrastructure Drones Industrie & Services One Health Open Source Optics & Photonics TerritoiresThe vision of dAIEDGE Network of Excellence (NoE) is to strengthen and support the development of the dynamic European edge and distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem as an essential ingredient in the growth and competitiveness of European industrial sectors. The dAIEDGE Network aims to reinforce the research and innovation value chains to accelerate the digital and green transitions through advanced edge AI technologies, applications, and innovations, building on Europe’s existing assets and industrial strengths. In parallel, it will fortify the edge AI research and industrial communities through technological developments beyond state of the art and become a dependable and strategic pillar for the European AI Lighthouse. This will be achieved by mobilising and connecting the European AI and edge AI constituency, the relevant stakeholders, European partnerships, and projects, to provide roadmaps, guidelines and trends supporting the next-generation edge AI technologies. The key aim is to support and ensure rapid development, market uptake and open strategic sovereignty for Europe in the critical technologies for distributed edge AI (hardware, software, frameworks, tools). The dAIEDGE NoE will play a catalyst role in building a solid edge AI virtual network of research facilities and laboratories to benefit the European research and industrial community. The NoE multidisciplinary concept provide an arena for matchmaking, exchanging ideas, tools, and services, by bringing together the leading research centres, AI-on-demand platforms, digital innovation hubs, AI projects and initiatives. The ultimate goal for the dAIEDGE NoE is to support Europe to become a global centre of excellence with unique human-centred edge AI competence addressing the social and economic challenges and the needs of the citizens and society.

HUB : Data Science & AI
Digital Infrastructure Open SourceThe last decade has seen an explosion of interest and investment in the use of Agricultural Digital Technologies (ADSs). The use of ADSs is seen by many as an opportunity to increase the economic and environmental performance of the agricultural sector. Despite great efforts and resources spent, uptake of ADSs by EU farmers has been limited for reasons like a) the frequently excessive cost of ADSs, b) the low trust that farmers have on ADSs and data sharing, for a variety reasons, and c) the weak network connectivity problems experienced by farms in remote areas, which affect the performance of the ADS.
The overall aim of the OpenAgri project is to democratise digital farming by enabling the development and deployment of innovative cost-effective energy-efficient OS software and open hardware-based ADSs that can operate at a high performance even in remote areas with weak connectivity. This will be achieved by a) ensuring the co-creation of ADSs by engaging farmers and farm advisors in participatory prototyping activities inspired by the makerspaces approach; and b) providing access to a number of reusable OS software services designed to support the edge and mixed computing mode, and a “sociotechnical infrastructure”.
Using a multi-actor approach, OpenAgri will involve farmers, ADSs providers, farm advisors and scientists in 14 Sustainable Innovation Pilots (SIPs) in ≥10 countries across Europe, and guide them in co-creating and piloting edge, cloud and mixed-model ADSs addressing important challenges of agricultural production. 5 SIPs have been pre-selected and 9 more will be awarded through an Open Call, enabling a dynamic response to a changing policy and technology landscape. Finally, building on a thorough analysis of EU agriculture and the results from the SIPs, OpenAgri will create a Decision Support Tool that will allow Policy Makers, Farmers and Farm Advisors to select the best possible cloud, edge or mixed ADSs for any given set of conditions.

Pierre BAUDRACCO, Founder and President of the publisher of the BlueMind open source messaging solution, the alternative to MS Exchange and 365
President of the Open Source Hub of the Systematic Cluster
The Open Source Hub has set itself the primary objective of bringing together the entire Open Source ecosystem, and is pursuing its initial mission of promoting all the industrial and academic players in Open Source in France and Europe. The issues supported by the Hub are many and intersecting between business and innovation, academic and technological communities, producers, suppliers and consumers, employment and training, and are ultimately European.
Open Source is one of Systematic’s 7 Deep Tech hubs, with a distinctive feature: it is a means to an end, not an end in itself!
As such, it has a cross-disciplinary vocation and works in collaboration with the other hubs, which focus on the technological challenges of AI, cybersecurity, IoT, development platforms and cloud infrastructures, 5G technologies, biometrics, quantum platforms, etc.
Taking into account and distinguishing between the two contexts in which Open Source is used (as tools and technological building blocks for building systems, or as an end-user solution) is a key factor in clarifying realistic approaches, expectations and business models for Open Source, depending on the context.
This will be an additional strength in the Open Source Hub’s ambitions to :
- Strengthen relations with all hubs, contacts, partners and organisations, such as the CNLL, Numeum, the Cigref, OW2, Eclipse ,or public authorities,
- Continue to federate and promote the sector through national and international studies and events such as OSXP,
- Highlighting integrators by encouraging the emergence of Open Source and standards-based technology foundations and building blocks,
- Supporting publishers in the development of sovereign solutions.
