XWiki and OpenProject join EuroCommons to support European digital sovereignty

On July 1, 2026, XWiki and OpenProject joined organizations from across Europe in Paris for the launch of the first EuroCommons coalitions.

Led by Caisse des Dépôts as part of the Horizon Numérique 2030 initiative, EuroCommons brings together public institutions, companies, open source providers, integrators, and foundations around a shared objective: enabling European organizations to regain control over their digital infrastructure and reduce dependency on proprietary ecosystems.

At its core, EuroCommons is about collective digital transformation. Instead of each organization tackling migration, interoperability, and vendor lock-in alone, the initiative creates a shared framework where participants can align requirements, pool expertise, and co-develop solutions that reflect European values of openness, transparency, and autonomy.

For XWiki and OpenProject, joining EuroCommons is a natural step. Both companies have long focused on helping organizations build sustainable, adaptable digital environments based on open source technologies.

XWiki provides structured knowledge management, documentation, and collaboration capabilities. OpenProject supports project and product management with a strong focus on transparency and control. Together, they offer a coherent alternative for organizations seeking to connect operational work with the knowledge, decisions, and processes that drive it.

This integration is not theoretical. XWiki’s OpenProject Integration (Pro) allows teams to display and manage OpenProject work packages directly within XWiki pages. OpenProject has also introduced native links to XWiki, enabling users to move seamlessly between project execution and its supporting documentation.

These capabilities are part of a broader shift: moving from fragmented tools toward integrated, sovereign digital workplaces where organizations control both their data and their workflows.

EuroCommons expands this effort by providing a structured environment where real-world needs can shape the evolution of open source solutions. Organizations can contribute requirements, identify gaps, and actively participate in building tools that are interoperable, adaptable, and governed within Europe.

This is essential because digital sovereignty goes beyond hosting choices. It is about ownership of data, independence from single vendors, the ability to adapt systems over time, and the freedom to integrate tools without artificial constraints.

For many organizations, this also marks a deeper stage of digital transformation. It is no longer just about adopting new tools, but about redesigning digital ecosystems to ensure long-term resilience, flexibility, and control.

The launch of EuroCommons is an important step in that direction. It signals a shift from isolated initiatives to coordinated action, where European actors work together to build the foundations of a more sovereign digital future.

XWiki and OpenProject are proud to contribute to this effort and to support organizations in building open, controlled, and future-proof digital environments.
