Linux Foundation Research Releases New Report: "The State of Open Source Japan 2025: Accelerating Business Value through Strategic Open Source Engagement"

At Open Source Summit Japan in Tokyo, the Linux Foundation Research announced the publication of "The State of Open Source Japan 2025," highlighting open source as a strategic driver.
Governance and security shortfalls leave many Japanese organizations exposed, so the report recommends establishing formal governance structures and shifting from passive use to active ecosystem participation.
Very active open source organizations report 73% agreement that open source increases competitiveness, per the Linux Foundation Research report.
Because open source underpins critical systems, the report highlights that a significant proportion of organizations demand rapid support, and support gaps drive organizations toward commercial providers requiring SLAs and production-grade practices.
The Linux Foundation will leverage best practices and projects to help, while systematic investment in training, governance, and security can bridge the maturity gap, the report finds.
