World Digital Ecosystems Forum
WDESF is a open, non-profit multi stakeholder initiative, to help establish and develop open global standards for innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem development.
Open standards are publicly available standards with proven implementation success. These standards are built on the principles of openness, transparency and consensus and are developed, adopted and maintained by a community to enable interoperability, or connected systems, across ecosystem actors and to prevent dependence on any single vendor. |
Open standards have proven to be an important facilitator for innovation. By providing an agreed, reliable and globally valid base of knowledge, technology and data, open standards allow ecosystem actors and users to develop highly competitive, innovative solutions and companies “on top” of the standard.
In short, open standards is where business creators, support providers, ecosystem builders /developers and operators align and where everyone is sure to benefit |
