Digit Open and OBCD converge around a shared commitment to open models—open source and open business—driving digital empowerment, educational innovation, and the growth of the social economy. Together, they offer complementary approaches—one focused on technology, the other on entrepreneurship—to foster inclusive and sustainable community development aligned with EU strategic goals.

OBCD takes inspiration from the analysis of a new entrepreneurship paradigm. Based on the necessity of combining economic growth and social innovation, the project aims to create more inclusive, creative and sustainable societies and economies. The project investigates how open business approaches applied to social entrepreneurship (SE) can contribute to local development. This concept leads to new challenges for education and training since it highlights emerging occupations as well as new knowledge, competences and skills, for the development of the so-called SEs.
