What does it take to build a sustainable, impactful, and collaborative open-source ecosystem in Europe?
The NGI Innovators Meetup Workshop will bring together NGI-funded innovators, along with open-source experts, post-growth thinkers, developers, and community builders to dive deeper into five strategic areas: open-source post-growth, accessing markets and achieving market fit, empowering developer communities, and effectively engaging with EU policymaking.

Join an insightful and interactive panel.

This session blends sharp insight with hands-on co-creation. Guided by experts in each different topic, attendees will actively participate through live polls, moderated discussions, micro-surveys, breakout collaboration, and sticky-note idea boards.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Learn from NGI’s long-standing commitment to open-source innovation
• Share your challenges and ideas with peers and experts
• Help prioritize real, community-driven solutions
• Connect with others shaping the future of Europe’s digital public space

As the closing session of OW2con’25, this workshop is where we gather lessons, forge alliances, and spark the next wave of initiatives — all in one room.
