Annual survey uses 316 European respondents, 45 questions and 14 expert interviews to quantify gaps: only 32% contribute upstream, public procurement still favors closed tools with 96% use Microsoft Office and roughly 0.5% budget for open source. Europe builds governance and funding instruments — ETSI engagement, a €3.5B multi‑country cloud infrastructure project and a Sovereign Tech Agency — and highlights AI hubs (Hugging Face, Paris) plus education and usability as chokepoints to scale impact.
