G105

In an era of geopolitical shifts, countries seek technological independence, with open source as a key strategy. While US/European developer density is well-known, their interconnections with China’s ecosystem remain under explored. This talk aims at providing an overview based on quantitative data of the evolution of the European and Chinese ecosystems. And give indicators of commonalities across both industries through potentially shared interests.

According to 2024 global open source data released by China's OpenAtom Foundation:

• Europe leads with 3M+ active developers (17.8% YoY growth), while China follows with 2.2M+ (24.05% growth).

• Europe dominates mature domains like OS (3.49M annual contributions) and front-end (9.59M), while China excels in emerging fields such as AI (+29.94% ) and semiconductors (+121.64%).

This is growing a non-exclusive and possibly complementary ecosystem of body of knowledge, tools, and processes where different parties can take advantage of.

This talk will share some thoughts on possible collaboration pathways including: technical synergies (trusted AI and compliance), policy alignments, and community coordination by lowering the barriers.
