Technology That's Open, Accessible, and Shared
Our technology is always open, accessible, and shared with the global community. We believe that software should be interoperable to remove barriers and ensure equitable participation in the global technology ecosystem.
Open source empowers individuals and organizations to create and innovate freely. By providing access to open standards, we enable developers, financial service providers, and users to collaborate on fair, inclusive, and transformative solutions.
We aim to break down the barriers created by restrictive vendor-specific practices and proprietary software, creating an open-source environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and global connectivity.
Our work at The Democratic Open Source Software Institute ensures that technology remains truly democratic and accessible for everyone, no matter where they are in the world. Together, we can build a future where fairness and autonomy are at the forefront of the digital revolution.
