Vision • In the near future, smart devices/objects and

smart apps will be used on a large scale, both for

our own use (smart grids) and for public use

(smart society)

• We need new business models to make the

energy transition possible

We believe • Smart devices and smart apps play a central role in the development of smart grids and smart society

• So far, most current solutions are proprietary and innovation projects are expensive, have a long lead

time and have a too small scale

• Besides that, these solutions are in many cases too expensive, because most business cases have

small margins for investments

• Open source software, open (source) hardware, open standards can accelerate the development

and implementation of smart devices and smart apps on a large scale

• … that underneath this … new collaboration models and new business models are needed

‘To accelerate innovation, we would like to create an open community where organizations collaborate, based on open source principles’
