JOIN THE NEXT GENERATION INTERNET FORUM

The Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative brings together some of Europe’s top internet innovators, researchers and policymakers, who are shaping the internet of tomorrow.

NGI will empower users with choices about and control of the use of their data. It will allow people to decide between a variety of business and social models for evaluating their data. Distributed ledger technologies and blockchain-based architectures will increase trust, transparency and traceability of online transactions. Artificial intelligent agents will manage the complexity of our interactions with the internet, helping us turn the mass of information generated into useful knowledge and better services. The internet infrastructure will become highly secure and resilient, thanks to the deployment of advanced encryption and secure communication technologies. Green architectures and technologies will minimise energy consumption and carbon footprint. The internet will be highly accessible and language transparent, individuals of all ages and physical conditions will be able to interact seamlessly with each other and their online environment.

To be on top of the relevant technology and market developments, we need the best internet innovators in Europe on board.

The NGI Forum is an opportunity to share knowledge with leading experts from a variety of disciplines, including privacy and trust, decentralised data governance, discovery and identification, artificial intelligence, and more.

The event will include a mix of specialist talks, open discussions and interactive working groups. The emphasis is on stimulating discussion and the free exchange of ideas between researchers, SMEs & startups, industry players, policy makers, and civil society.
