Opengea is a laboratory for technological research and development. We create models to understand complex systems and digital tools to act within them, driving a new way of thinking, organising ourselves and inhabiting the planet.
Purpose
That communities and organisations understand and govern the technology they use, and that this technology strengthens people, territories and the planet instead of depleting them.
Most organisations depend on fragmented technologies they neither understand nor control.
Fragmentation
Scattered tools that do not talk to each other: information is duplicated, lost, and nobody has the full picture.
Dependency
Key tools belong to large platforms that set their rules, their prices and their future.
Data elsewhere
Information is stored far away, beyond the reach and jurisdiction of those who generate it.
Opaque AI
Artificial intelligence decides without us knowing how or by what criteria.
Meanwhile, the challenges —social, ecological, economic— are ever more complex and interconnected.
We research and develop technology grounded in cybernetics —the science of how systems regulate themselves— and systems thinking, to help us operate in complex systems.
We build tools, models and methodologies to enable new forms of cooperation, governance and collective intelligence. Because how we organise ourselves defines the kind of future we can build.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
01 Thinking
All elements of reality are deeply interconnected. We work with a holistic perspective to understand the whole and influence it.
With knowledge maps we make relationships visible and decide with judgement. Human and artificial intelligences, aligned with this view, help us understand complexity without reducing it.

02 Organising ourselves
When we cooperate, more capable collective systems emerge. We develop governance tools and knowledge models to enable this coordination.
We develop tools so that people and organisations can find each other, exchange services, deliberate, agree and cooperate, and so that the knowledge they generate is shared and not lost.

03 Inhabiting the planet
We create technology so that people, communities and territories can develop their potential and contribute to the vitality of the systems they are part of.
Regenerating calls for action: caring for ecosystems, strengthening the capacities of people and communities and reinvesting value in the territory, with technology that strengthens it instead of depleting it.
Read moreAll the software we build is based on Intrabase, Opengea's own framework: a common foundation that lets us shape each tool to each organisation and make it evolve with it.
Modular applications, workflows, data and process automation configured to the way you work, not the other way round.
Artificial intelligence helps us create and adjust software much faster, without losing control of the result.
Everything happens inside our secure infrastructure, with data in the EU, in line with the European GDPR and AI Act, and under your control.
We work in four layers: infrastructure, organisation, cooperation and knowledge. From the physical substrate to the mental one.
01 Infrastructure · geosphere
Servers, domains, email and web hosting in European data centres.
02 Organisation · hydrosphere
Your organisation's workspace: intranet, ERP/CRM and website. Built on Intrabase, the framework we use to develop all our software.
03 Cooperation · biosphere
A platform for organisations in a territory to find each other, exchange and decide together.
04 Knowledge · noosphere
An AI model to understand complex problems and decide with judgement.

“It is a mere question of time when humanity will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature”

The technology we build with you is yours: you can understand it, govern it and make it evolve. For us, technological sovereignty is not an add-on; it is the condition for technology to serve the common good.
We make it concrete in five commitments:
We accompany you throughout the whole process, with your people at the centre of every decision.
A diagnosis of the system: the organisation, its environment, information flows and data.
The model and the architecture, together with you: what to build, what can be reused and in what order.
On our infrastructure and tools, adapted to your organisation, guaranteeing data protection within the EU.
Maintenance, training and evolution: technology grows and adapts with you.
If your organisation, company or public body needs to rethink itself, better understand its environment or equip itself with its own technology, we accompany you: sovereign infrastructure, intranets, tools to cooperate and decide, and artificial intelligence at your service. From design to launch and ongoing maintenance.
