The AppHub project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020, aims to bridge the gap between open source SMEs and the mainstream market by facilitating the dissemination of open source software. It allows producers to package their software and make it accessible to end-users through a directory, offering a free platform for registration and asset management. The project spans from January 2015 to December 2016 and involves partners such as Fraunhofer FOKUS, OW2, and Usheresoft.
