How we think
Who we are
OpenTalk
OpenTalk has been developed by the Berlin-based company Heinlein Support, with 30 years of experience in the design and operation of secure electronic communication. Know-how and passion for open source unite our team. Transparency and integrity are our shared values. Data protection and digital sovereignty are the essence of our DNA.
What does that mean for you? We are partners on an equal footing and will make your goals our own. What began as a project for the city of Berlin with the development of a city-wide video conferencing platform has now led to the development of OpenTalk, a solution that provides what businesses, political organizations, authorities and schools need.
