🚀 Exciting Insights on OSS Adoption Barriers for MSMEs & TSOs Across Europe! 🌍
Our latest DIGITopen joint report “Digital Empowering MSMEs & TSOs: Research on OSS Training Offerings and Needs” uncovers the most critical barriers to Open-Source Software (OSS) adoption among MSMEs and Third Sector Organizations in six European countries: France, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Poland.
🔍 Key Findings:
- Poland: Lack of awareness and know-how on managing OSS risks are top barriers.
- Greece: Comprehensive barriers including strategic commitment and technical know-how.
- Estonia: Strategic organizational commitment is the primary hurdle.
- France: Technical know-how and risk management lead the barriers.
- Italy & Spain: Understanding OSS characteristics is the main challenge.
These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to boost OSS adoption by increasing awareness, fostering strategic commitment, enhancing technical skills, and promoting a better understanding of OSS.
🎯 The DIGITopen project is set to:
- Improve digital skills in OSS tools for MSMEs & TSOs.
- Enhance capacity building and synergies with VET providers.
- Enrich VET providers’ educational offerings in digital skills.
Together, let’s pave the way for a more OSS-friendly future in Europe! 🌐✨
