Panel Discussion: Research Insights Revealed! World of Open Source: Europe Spotlight 2022
summary
A Europe-wide study uses a 1,050-respondent survey with 670 full completions and 16 interviews plus an econometric model to claim open source adds roughly €63 billion annually (2017–18). Results show micro firms report 80% encouraged to consume but contribution lags: 43% report no clear contribution policy versus 20% for consumption. Telecom and IT sectors encourage contribution; finance and public sector do not. Presence of an OSPO or visible leader raises encouraged consumption and perceived value (64% vs 39%).
