What DAWO stands for

DAWO brings public values and technology together. The community pursues five primary goals.

Digital autonomy

Strengthening the digital autonomy of the Netherlands.

Collaboration

Improving collaboration and knowledge sharing between governments and society.

Security

Safeguarding security and data protection.

Innovation

Encouraging innovation and more efficient ways of working.

Verifiability

Making government IT systems easier to inspect and verify.

An open workplace is made of replaceable building blocks

Not one single product, but separate building blocks that work together. Every part can be inspected and replaced.

Events, news and taking part

The calendar, the latest news, the blog and the forum are on the member portal. Everything is public, and that is also where you sign up.

Not for the community. With the community.

DAWO brings government, industry and open source together. Public and private build the same blueprint here. You can take part through conversations, code, documentation, pilots and events.
