A shared mission to build Europe’s Digital Business Wallet
The WE BUILD Consortium brings together more than 200 public and private organizations working toward one of Europe’s most ambitious digital goals: creating the European Digital Business Wallet. This wallet aims to help entrepreneurs securely exchange verified data, reduce administrative burdens and build trust across borders. With so many stakeholders working across domains, countries and disciplines, the consortium needed a unified and sovereign collaboration environment that could support structured work and transparent coordination at scale. Open Social became that foundation.
Why WE BUILD Consortium chose Open Social
The consortium needed a platform built in Europe, compliant with strict privacy and sovereignty standards and capable of serving as a secure home for hundreds of partners with different roles and responsibilities.
Open Social provided:
- A single, secure workspace for every organization
- Role-based access and enterprise-grade governance
- Dedicated areas for each work package and use case
- Integrated discussions, document collaboration and events
- Fully European hosting with GDPR and ISO-aligned security
Open Social wasn’t selected as a vendor but as an active co-creation partner supporting the consortium’s mission.
A partnership that goes beyond software
WE BUILD doesn’t just use Open Social. The consortium actively participates in Open Social Summits and contributes to product shaping and shared learning.
“For WE BUILD it was essential to choose a platform that is not only secure but also fully European and based on open standards. Open Social offers exactly that, a strong and extendable solution that enables our participating organizations to work together in a safe and sovereign way on Europe’s digital future.”
— Joost Fleuren
As the European Digital Business Wallet becomes a reality, the WE BUILD Portal will keep serving as the backbone of collaboration, where policy becomes practice and trust turns into operational digital infrastructure.
Open Social continues to develop new capabilities that support secure, inclusive collaboration so every discussion and decision strengthens Europe’s digital market.
