TYPO3 has been approved as a Digital Public Good (DPG) by the Digital Public Goods Alliance. The body, which governs the registry of organizations that adhere to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, certified the open source content management system (CMS) in April. Inclusion in the registry stands as a recognition of TYPO3’s continued commitment to equitable innovation, unrestricted access to its products, and anti-discrimination.
Founded in 1998, TYPO3 is an open source CMS governed by a not-for-profit organization that oversees the product’s continued growth and development. The TYPO3 Association has been a longstanding advocate for democratic, community-driven innovation, digital sovereignty, and cross-organizational collaboration, serving as a member of the Open Website Alliance alongside Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress. TYPO3 is at the forefront of open source technology adoption in the Global South, promoting it as a source of local employment opportunities and non-exploitative means of digitization.
The certification reflects TYPO3’s continued drive to deliver cost-effective, efficient, and secure content management solutions worldwide, while fostering a sustainable, and community-led approach to product development and innovation. Inclusion in the DPG registry allows TYPO3 to expand its partnerships with government and private sector, supporting digital infrastructure efforts through civil society initiatives and communities of trained professionals whose vibrant ecosystems are the cornerstone of sustainable development.
