Europe API
Building Europe-as-a-platform.
The annual gathering of API teams building the public sector of tomorrow. OpenAPIs · OpenData · Open Government · Government-as-a-Platform. One day. One continent. One stack.
Public sector APIs are the infrastructure of European sovereignty.
Every form filed, every benefit claimed, every business registered — it now flows through an API written by a public-sector team.
From Tallinn's X-Road to France's API Particulier, from Italy's PDND to the European Once-Only Technical System, a quiet revolution is rebuilding the state as a programmable platform. The people doing this work are scattered across 27 ministries, 300+ regions and thousands of cities and agencies.
They rarely meet. They re-solve the same problems. They build parallel standards. They face the same vendors and the same constraints, alone.
Europe API exists to fix that. One room. Two days. Every API team that runs Europe's public infrastructure — sharing what works, what broke, and what comes next.
Because a continent that ships interoperable, sovereign, resilient digital services is a continent that wins the next decade. And that continent is built API by API.
1000+ builders of public Europe
Ministries & digital agencies
CTOs, API leads and platform teams from EU-27 national governments.
Regions & cities
From Catalonia to Île-de-France, from Berlin to Helsinki — the cities and regions building citizen-facing platforms.
Agencies & operators
Health, transport, social security, registries, statistics — the operators behind the APIs citizens actually touch.
Four pillars. One continent.
Interoperability
Cross-border data flows, the Once-Only Principle, EUDI Wallet, and the standards that make 27 systems behave as one.
Digital Resilience
Sovereign cloud, open source by default, vendor exit strategies, and the architectures that survive the next decade.
Government-as-a-Platform
Reusable building blocks: identity, payments, notifications, registries — the shared rails every public service rides on.
OpenData & OpenAPI
From data.gouv.fr to data.europa.eu — turning public information into public infrastructure developers can actually build on.
Shipped something
other governments need to hear?
We're looking for the people who actually wrote the spec, ran the migration, shipped the endpoint. Practitioners only. 20-minute slots, single track, no vendor pitches.

Europe API is a track of the FOST Federation conference, co-located with apidays Paris — the world's leading conference on APIs. Three events. One venue. Two days of impossible density.
Why Paris? Because it's the only major European capital whose name contains A, P, and I. Paris. The universe has spoken.
See you in Paris.
