Welcome + Opening Remarks
summary
Says open source now powers the AI stack and attracts big capital — commercial open source averages about $9 billion a year while open source AI rounds hit ~$26 billion recently — and Europe risks losing upstream influence (global contributions ~$7.7 billion, Europe maybe $5 billion). Notes many projects move under neutral governance (PyTorch, DocumentDB, agentic AI projects) and cites concrete collaboration: Open Wallet Foundation launches a global digital collaboration with 46 organizations and an evening reception at Epiphany Kitchen.
