Many initially hardware-driven industries, undergo a profound transformation and become more defined by software like it is the case in the automotive industry. Driven by increasing software complexity, this shift demands unprecedented levels of collaboration and joint integration. As many organizations whose core business was not selling software accelerate towards a more software-defined world, a critical question is how to consume, grow, run and consume the involved Open Source projects to deliver lasting value.

While many of the effects of open collaboration are not unique to a particular domain, the lessons learned from already more "software-defined" industries unlock invaluable insights that are collected in the TODO Group Business Guide.

Taking the learnings from that guide, this panel will delve into how Open Source activities effectively contribute to reaching business goals.

Join us to uncover enablers of sustainable Open Source development, learn from cross-industry successes, and equip your teams with the necessary competencies to thrive in the rapidly evolving software-defined world.
