DESCRIPTION:Panel by the UN agencies grouped under the banner Open Source 
 United\n\nAs digital technologies become increasingly central to public se
 rvices\, governance\, and international cooperation\, organizations from b
 oth public and private sectors are looking for ways to strengthen their st
 rategic autonomy while maintaining flexibility in their technology choices
 . Open source offers an important approach that can complement existing te
 chnology ecosystems by promoting transparency\, interoperability\, and col
 laborative innovation. \n\nThis session will explore how open source can h
 elp governments and organizations build resilient and adaptable digital in
 frastructures. By enabling greater visibility into code\, fostering shared
  development\, and supporting local capacity building\, open source can co
 ntribute to stronger institutional control over critical digital systems w
 hile encouraging collaboration across sectors and borders. \n\nSpeakers fr
 om governments\, international organizations\, and the open source communi
 ty will share practical experiences on integrating open source into broade
 r digital strategies. The discussion will highlight policy approaches\, pr
 ocurement practices\, and partnership models that help institutions benefi
 t from open source while working alongside a diverse ecosystem of technolo
 gy providers.
