Regenerative development
Regeneration
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.

Technology and knowledge models
to act on complex systems
It is the Meta-Globàlium: a map of reality that lays out, in a single scheme, the dimensions, the objects, the relations and the flows that define it and make it intelligible. It builds on the Globàlium of Lluís M. Xirinacs (1932-2007), reformulating it, extending it and making it computable.
Why it is useful. Any view of a subject leaves parts of it out without noticing. The model makes those blind spots visible: it shows which dimensions of a question have been considered and which are still unexamined, and it lets you reconcile angles that looked incompatible.
Why we need it now. Because we think fast and each from our own corner: conversations stall when the parties are looking at different dimensions without knowing it, and we decide with half of reality out of sight. A shared scheme gives us a language to place any question, see what has been left out, and argue about the same thing. And it holds for machines too: artificial intelligence systems answer without saying where they are looking from. Only with an explicit map can we demand transparency and ethical alignment from them, instead of trusting them blindly.
Meta-Globàlium · a map of reality
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.
Why we work this way
Technological sovereignty
We promote ethical, transparent and decentralised digital infrastructures. We defend the ability of communities to understand and govern the technology they use.
At Opengea, technological sovereignty is not an add-on: it is the condition for technology to serve the common good. We release our code and methodology, host data in the EU on renewable energy, and design every tool so communities can understand it, govern it and decide over it.
Our axes
At Opengea we research and develop technology from a systemic vision to act on complex systems and drive their regenerative development.
Collective intelligence
Cooperation
When we cooperate, more capable collective systems emerge. We develop governance tools and knowledge models to enable this coordination.

Complex systems
Systemic vision
All elements of reality are deeply interconnected. We work with a holistic perspective to understand the whole and influence it.

Our work is organised in four layers. We think globally and act locally, and each layer holds up the one above: all four are essential.
Arkadium
A shared model for understanding the world we inhabit. A map of reality that clarifies objects, entities, relations and dynamics. An architecture for ethical alignment and transparency in AI models.
A cooperative digital ecosystem, a system for networking between people and organisations, a space for community deliberation and political advocacy. An ecosystem for the regenerative economy.
Intrabase
The integration of every application, data set and process, with AI built in. A single operating system for each organisation. Technological sovereignty and less dependence on large multinationals.
Secure technological infrastructure, optimised for high performance. Domains, hosting, servers and mail, run from the EU on renewable energy. The physical ground under everything above it.
“It is a mere question of time when humanity will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature”
– Nikola Tesla
None of these layers gets built on its own.
If you work in an organisation, a community or a project that fits any of these layers, get in touch.
