Decidim

Tue, 04/11/2025 de 09:00 a 19:00

We live in a world where big tech corporations dominate our digital lives and authoritarianism seems to be on the rise. That’s why it's more urgent than ever to ask: who controls the technology we use every day? How can we ensure that technology remains open, fair, and serves everyone? What policies are needed to make digital commons sustainable and protected? And how can we transform digital infrastructures to work for social good rather than corporate interests?

This year, Decidim Fest is part of Barcelona Open Tech Week and is held in collaboration with Mozilla Foundation.
