InnoVEX Center Stage

As open source becomes the foundation of modern AI and digital infrastructure, enterprises face two key questions:

Can we trust it?
And how do we build business value from it?

This session brings together two global open source leaders to address both.

Brian Behlendorf, co-founder of the Apache Software Foundation and former Executive Director of OpenSSF, will share insights from his work across the Linux Foundation, the World Economic Forum, and the White House. He will explore how security, governance, and collaboration are becoming essential for enterprise adoption of open source.

Justin Mclean, a leader in open source governance and a key driver behind the commercialization of Apache Gravitino, will focus on how open source evolves into sustainable business models and delivers long-term value.

Together, they offer a complete view - from securing open source supply chains to building scalable business value - helping enterprises move from using open source to building with it strategically.
