DOK Summit is an internationally renowned event that will bring together key players in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the Open and Green Digital Transition in the new Data Economy.

DOK Summit is the leading platform for ICT innovation in Southern Europe. This event not only brings together the sector’s most prominent professionals but also offers a unique opportunity to position your brand and establish strategic connections in a high-impact environment.

 

 

DOK Summit was created as a continuation and expansion of LIBRECON.

But LIBRECON is not disappearing; rather, it is being integrated into DOK Summit, where open-source technologies will continue to have their place, coexisting and competing with other non-open-source technologies, thus representing the hybrid technological reality in which we live.

Invitation from the organizers

We are a cutting-edge sector that is essential and key to the economic development of regions, and our challenge is to support a secure and inclusive digital transition for all stakeholders (businesses, governments, and society) to ensure that this transition becomes a key driver of competitiveness and sustainable growth. We promote sector-specific events to foster collaborative innovation, and the DOK Summit is a prime example of this. We are committed to this internationally renowned event, which will bring together the main players in the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector to analyze the challenges and opportunities presented by the Open, Secure, and Green Digital Transition in the new data economy. It will help increase cross-sector and cross-company partnerships and encourage us to work together to attract, develop, and retain talent as the country’s primary asset. Only if we succeed in becoming an attractive destination for local and international talent will we be able to realize our leadership in digital transformation. Elena Zarraga, President of the GAIA Cluster.
ESLE’s mission is to empower and promote the use of open-source technologies and open knowledge as key tools for economic development and innovation. This event reflects our commitment to fostering an open and accessible technological ecosystem, which we consider essential for the competitiveness and growth of the economy and society. At ESLE, we firmly believe in the power of open technology to deliver competitive advantages, such as cost reduction and increased operational efficiency, while also fostering local economies and disruptive innovation across all sectors. One of the central themes of the DOK Summit is the urgent need for qualified talent capable of navigating and leading in the digital economy. Digital transformation is advancing at an unprecedented pace, and our industry needs professionals who not only understand current technologies but can also anticipate and adapt to future trends. At ESLE, we are committed to training and developing talent to ensure the workforce is prepared for these challenges. I invite you to explore with us how open-source software solutions can drive economic growth and innovation. The DOK Summit will serve as a vital space for exchanging ideas, building professional networks, and collaborating on projects that will not only transform our industry and other sectors but also strengthen the economic foundation of our communities. Together, we can move toward a future where technology and open knowledge play a central role in shaping a prosperous and resilient digital economy. Iker Sagasti, President of ESLE.
