Our Mission
EuroMakers is dedicated to promoting and supporting European digital sovereignty through software innovation.
Why European Software Matters
In an increasingly digital world, the software we use shapes our economy, society, and daily lives. While global technological innovation has brought tremendous benefits, Europe faces challenges in maintaining its digital sovereignty and promoting its unique values in the digital space.
European software development stands for:
- Privacy and data protection as fundamental rights
- Strong ethical standards in technology development
- Security and reliability as core design principles
- Transparency and openness in how systems operate
- Compliance with EU regulations such as GDPR
Our Core Objectives
Promote European Software
Increase visibility and adoption of quality software products developed in Europe, showcasing European technical excellence and innovation.
Support European Developers
Help European developers and companies reach wider audiences and gain recognition for their contributions to the software ecosystem.
Enhance Digital Sovereignty
Contribute to European digital autonomy by helping users discover trustworthy, locally-developed alternatives to non-European software solutions.
Build Community
Foster a vibrant community of users, developers, and supporters committed to advancing European software innovation.
