Press release - Issy-les-Moulineaux - 26 May 2025
Cozy Cloud joins LINAGORA to strengthen the Twake workplace dynamic and consolidate the European open source, intelligent and sovereign alternative.
Cozy Cloud and LINAGORA: data control and free software in common...
Cozy Cloud, a pioneer in personal data management platforms, announces its integration with LINAGORA, a long-standing player in the French open-source software sector. The aim of this strategic alliance is to join forces to offer a sovereign, open and user-friendly alternative to the digital giants.
Founded in 2011, Cozy Cloud was built around a strong conviction: to enable everyone to regain control of their personal data. In a world increasingly dominated by centralized platforms, this vision has become more necessary than ever, at a time when artificial intelligence is redistributing the digital cards.
"We've always wanted to make more than a product. Cozy was born of a simple but ambitious idea: to make digital more personal, more ethical, more human."
- Benjamin ANDRE, co-founder of Cozy Cloud
By joining LINAGORA, Cozy Cloud is part of a wider project: that of building a third digital way, breaking away from the GAFAM models. This ambition is made possible by the technological complementarity with Twake Workplace, the 100% open source collaborative suite developed by LINAGORA.
"This merger was an obvious choice. Our teams share the same culture of open source and transparency, and the same desire to contribute to the development of our digital sovereignty. Together, by combining Cozy and Twake Workplace, we'll be able to go further, faster."
- Alexandre Zapolsky, CEO of LINAGORA
... for a Workplace that reconciles the irreconcilable, without compromise...
LINAGORA's Twake Workpalce is the only truly Open Source digital workplace capable of this almost paradoxical combination of fluidity/productivity, sovereignty/autonomy and modularity/security. This is why the Conseil National des Barreaux and the Mauritian government successfully deployed and adopted Twake Workplace in 2024 in its "On premise" version, with LINAGORA's support. Cozy technology naturally enhances its modular platform capability, for well-integrated cross-functional services.
... an AI-driven workplace
Synergies go even further with AI. LINAGORA is also a key player in the field of Open Source artificial intelligence, with a range of services and products based on sober, Open Source and sovereign foundation models, developed with a group of academic players, public and private organizations brought together within the OpenLLM France community.
This combination of open AI expertise and Cozy's individual-centric personal space architecture makes possible a trusted agentic personal assistant, orchestrating intelligent services around the individual. Privacy is both a goal and a means to an end, because who can gather more data than Google: the individual himself? But that's all we're saying right now!
This merger marks a major step forward for Cozy Cloud and for the French free software and open AI ecosystem. It opens up new technological, economic and political perspectives for a digital world more aligned with citizens' interests in the age of GPT Chat.
