[SPEAKNGI] D3.1 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT PLAN

SpeakNGI.eu commits to extensive stakeholder engagement based on compelling motivational drivers identified for Europe’s Next Generation Internet initiative and its underlying concepts and values.

This document sets out the SpeakNGI.eu stakeholder engagement plan, based on an updated analysis of the NGI landscape and interactions that have already taken place with key groups that form part of the SpeakNGI.eu stakeholders.

The document is in sync with the activities carried out at NGI Stakeholder Task Force level. The NGI Stakeholder Task Force (TF), coordinated by SpeakNGI.eu, is a regular activity conducted at Inter-CSA level. Each CSA plays a leadership role in establishing synergies with stakeholder representative organisations and initiatives of direct interest to them but of mutual benefit for the NGI. SpeakNGI.eu leverages its contributions to the TF to help recruit new players to EU-funding programmes, primarily start-ups and SMEs by targeting multipliers operating in IT hubs across Europe.
