OW2 Best Project 2026 Award Contest Winners
The Jury selected the winners for each of the three awards as follows:
| Community Award | Market Award | Technology Award |
|---|---|---|
| Prestashop | eXo Platform | Silex Labs |
| PrestaShop promotes the development of a large-scale, structured, and dynamic open-source community, where contributors collaborate through focused, time-bound initiatives aligned with the product roadmap. The Call for Contributions framework provides clear guidance, support, and recognition, enabling contributors to deliver impactful improvements efficiently. Community achievements are made visible directly within the product through the Wall of Fame, strengthening recognition and connection between contributors and merchants. Together, these initiatives create a more engaged ecosystem where community efforts translate into tangible value for all participants. | eXo Platform stands out in the market by addressing the growing demand for sovereign, open, and trusted digital workplace solutions as alternatives to proprietary ecosystems. Its flexible deployment model - SaaS, private cloud, or on-premise - combined with strong partnerships such as Orange Business, enables broad adoption across both public and private sectors. The platform’s integration into offerings like “Live Collaboration” positions it as a credible, enterprise-grade alternative to dominant vendors. With its 2026 AI-augmented workplace combining controlled multi-model AI and open architecture, eXo Platform reinforces its competitive edge in a rapidly evolving collaboration market. | Silex empowers users to build static websites visually with full control, generating clean, standards-based HTML/CSS/JS without lock-in, proprietary runtimes, or imposed hosting. Users can deploy their sites anywhere, from GitHub and GitLab to their own infrastructure, ensuring maximum flexibility and ownership. Built on open-source tools and integrations, Silex connects users directly to the open web ecosystem rather than confining them to a closed platform. Its community-driven roadmap ensures that features evolve based on real user needs, with tangible outcomes such as publicly funded developments driven by user votes. |
