The Eclipse Foundation is one of the world’s largest open source software foundations, an international non-profit headquartered in Brussels that provides a business-friendly home for 400+ open source projects and 300+ member organisations. It is the organisation behind OCX (Open Community Experience), its flagship annual conference. Founded in 2004, the Foundation gives a global community of developers and companies a neutral, professionally governed environment to build open source software together.
The Foundation hosts more than 400 open source projects (runtimes, tools, specifications and frameworks) and provides the governance, intellectual-property management and ecosystem development that let competing and collaborating organisations build shared technology with confidence.
Its work spans the same domains you’ll find across the OCX tracks:
The Eclipse Foundation is headquartered in Brussels, at the heart of Europe. Established as a Belgian international non-profit association (AISBL), it champions open source as a driver of digital sovereignty and innovation across Europe and worldwide. Brussels is also the home of OCX, the Foundation’s flagship conference.
OCX (Open Community Experience) is the Eclipse Foundation’s flagship annual conference. Each spring, it brings the Foundation’s global community to Brussels for three days of technical sessions, hands-on learning, and real-world problem solving across six tracks: Main, Tooling, AI, Automotive, Compliance and Research. For the dates, venue and full details of the upcoming edition, visit ocxconf.org.
The Eclipse Project was created by IBM in 2001, and the Eclipse Foundation was established in 2004 as an independent, vendor-neutral not-for-profit to act as steward of the community. Today, it is a global, member-driven organisation based in Europe, trusted by industry leaders and individual contributors alike.
