The Spanish Ministry for Digital Transformation announced a €1.92 million investment in Kaleidos for its open-source platform Penpot. The funding is part of a €6.9 million round. Penpot combines design and development in one platform with support for collaborative workflows and generative AI. It serves as an open alternative to proprietary tools. The investment aims to strengthen European digital sovereignty. Kaleidos, founded in 2011, will use the funds to expand commercial operations. Penpot treats design as code and integrates with multiple AI tools. This supports a more diverse European digital ecosystem and reduces vendor lock-in. The project aligns with broader EU efforts in open-source technologies and innovation.
