About DC-EDIC

The Digital Commons EDIC is a European consortium that develops, maintains, and scales digital commons: open-source software, open standards, and shared digital infrastructure for public administrations, enterprises, and citizens. Established under the EU Digital Decade programme, we bring together EU Member States to pool resources and invest collectively in open technologies that reduce Europe’s dependency on external providers. Five founding members (France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands), seven observers, and growing. We launched in December 2025 and are now assembling our founding team in Paris.
