SUMMARY:Open Strategic Autonomy: Public and Private Sector Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:The increased attention on digital autonomy stems from concerns regarding user-control of IT infrastructures\, services and products that our economy depends on. In a soon-to-be-published paper by OpenForum Europe\, we outline how these concerns are nothing new to people following the open technology space. Put simply\, open technologies\, in particular open source and open standards\, give the user and developer the control that at a societal level delivers digital autonomy. \nAt this event\, the speakers and panellists will look at how open technologies can deliver digital autonomy from different perspectives\, such as that of the public sector\, vendors of open technologies and the citizens and consumers that engage with the products or services. \nSeen from these different perspectives\, particular advantages of open tech emerge. They offer control and autonomy for the user\, without limiting an openness to commerce\, competition and innovation. They lower barriers for SMEs to enter the market and compete at different levels of the technology stack. They bring transparency\, accountability and security to the end user. \nThat said\, there are policy challenges facing both the IT departments of public and private organisations\, as well as the policy-making arms of national governments. Culture change\, strengthening know-how and capacity\, as well as outdated IT procurement laws are currently hindrances\, albeit surmountable\, to realise autonomy\, innovation and economic growth with open technologies.
