• Awareness + Knowledge: We aim to enable software developers, decision makers and businesses to make sound assessments on benefits and risks of FOSS solutions and to stimulate their sharing of experiences.
• Development + Cooperation: We contribute to building an active FOSS developer community that collaborates on locally adapted software products, receiving support and ideas through regional and international networks.
• Business Models: We facilitate cooperation between European and Asian companies, to inspire and strengthen the development of viable and sustainable FOSS-based business solutions.
• Education + Dissemination: We empower multiplying organizations to cooperate and to competently train others on FOSS applications and opportunities, in order to increase users' familiarity with FOSS.
