My main arguments were:
1. OSPOs are more than just a team for managing open source software -- they are a strategic function that can drive cultural change, cross-functional collaboration, and ecosystem engagement across an organisation. They act as vertical and horizontal enablers.
2. In the debate around Digital Sovereignty, Open Source is a highly relevant option on the table, and goes far beyond "Buy European". OSPOs can help organisations navigate the complex landscape of open source, build internal expertise, and foster partnerships that enhance sovereignty through openness.

3. OSPOs cannot drive this change alone. External support in the form of strategy, incentives and regulation is needed, especially for organizations under high regulatory pressure or with limited resources. This needs to be coherent vertically across the EU and horizontally across sectors.
