The 9ᵗʰ edition of Open Source Pro, held at the Cercle de l'Union Interalliée, aimed to bring together CIOs, public decision‑makers, entrepreneurs and builders of the European digital ecosystem to discuss the challenges of digital sovereignty.
Didier FLEURY was present and shared his perspective on the complexity of digital sovereignty at an international scale.
“I have known LINAGORA since 2004… and I am happy to see that today it is getting the recognition it deserves. For 25 years it has been breaking new ground and represents the open‑source ecosystem in France.”
He praised the richness of the evening’s exchanges, while also offering a nuanced viewpoint—equally valuable because we were there to debate and confront our ideas:
“I represent a company that works with multiple sovereignties. There isn’t a single sovereignty, there are sovereignties. We collaborate in Australia, the United States, Canada, South America, Europe… And each country has its own rules, its own frameworks.”
An essential remark: digital sovereignty is not a single concept, but a mosaic of balances to be found among legal frameworks, cultures and technologies.
That is the whole challenge of an open source that is open to the world, capable of reconciling international cooperation with strategic autonomy.
THANK YOU to Didier Fleury for this illuminating testimony and for his long‑standing commitment to a free, responsible and global digital future.
