We’re Now the Eclipse Foundation AISBL

Our transition to Europe is complete, and we’re now formally established as the Eclipse Foundation AISBL, an international non-profit association based in Brussels, Belgium.

With this transition, we see a huge opportunity to build on our strength in Europe to advance open source innovation globally. Europe has embraced open source software in a way no other region of the world has. The Eclipse Foundation has more than 170 members and more than 900 committers based in Europe, and we’re already home to a number of publicly funded European research projects.

To help everyone understand what our move to Europe means to them, we’ve created a number of resources:

The IoT and Edge Commercial Adoption Survey Needs Your Input

If you’re deploying or using commercial IoT and edge computing solutions, please complete our 2021 IoT and Edge Commercial Adoption Survey before February 28.

The IoT and Edge Commercial Adoption Survey goes beyond our IoT Developer Survey to provide insight into the overall IoT industry landscape. With your input, all IoT and edge ecosystem stakeholders — software vendors, platform vendors, solution providers, and manufacturing organizations — will have deeper insight into:

  • Forecasts for IoT and edge market growth
  • Challenges and potential barriers that impact market development and size
  • The latest IoT and edge computing market trends
  • The mix of proprietary and open source solutions being used in IoT solutions and where open source software provides key benefits
  • How edge computing is being incorporated into IoT solutions
  • Strategies other companies are using to increase their IoT footprint

The survey results will also influence Eclipse IoT and Edge Native Working Group roadmaps, helping to ensure these ecosystems remain focused on the top requirements and priorities for commercial IoT solutions.

Obeo CEO, Cédric Brun, says the reputation the company built by participating in the Eclipse Foundation has been key to the company’s growth, particularly its growth outside of France. “Our involvement in the Eclipse Foundation helped us to be recognized in our technical niche in just a few years,” Brun says.
