Open Source Fireside Chat | Berlin SaaS Week

​Open Source and Copilot will commoditize code – what does this mean for a software company?

​The steady growth of open source and the advancement of gen AI agents specific to code generation are making code per se less and less valuable. So, where does the intrinsic value of a software company reside?

​We will try to debunk this question with a handful of exciting panelists before we open the dinner buffet and start pouring the drinks! Speakers and location will be announced soon!
