SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: Blockchain Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: Blockchain Ecologies with Primavera De Filippi\nPrimavera De Filippi will address self-sovereign identity\, the challenges it faces in order to guarantee both unicity (no more than one user per identifier) and singularity (no more than one identifier per user)\, the way in which these challenges have been addressed by Kiva and WFP through the use of biometrics\, and then open up to alternative mechanisms\, such as for instance the recently launched Proof-of-Humanity initiative\, using web-of-trust and decentralized verification systems to ensure singularity of identities.\nwww.proofofhumanity.id \n“Self-sovereign identity is a relatively new area of research\, which is only now starting to materialize into real-world applications of new digital identity management systems. This is particularly valuable for applications that have the ability to scale and greatly improve financial and social inclusion of vulnerable populations (Blakstad and Allen\, 2018). Yet\, it is important to keep in mind that while there are emerging best practice standards and primitives for self-sovereign identity (McMullen et al.\, 2019)\, there is no generic identity protocol that solves all use cases. As demonstrated by the Kiva and WFP case studies\, identity is inherently use case dependent. Interoperability and standardization will be important for scale\, but the success of a particular identity application will depend on how its deployment is tailored to the use cases and local conditions. A successful identity management system will therefore need to be sufficiently flexible to adapt to the inherently malleable nature of human identity.” \nSource: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fbloc.2019.00028/full \nFront.

By Fennie Wang1 and Primavera De Filippi. \n“Ultimately\, therefore\, the technological guarantees of blockchain technology (in terms of\, e.g. transparency\, immutability\, non-repudiability\, etc.) may reduce the need for third-party’s scrutiny and oversight over these institutions. By enhancing the perceived confidence in the operations of both public and private institutions\, blockchain technology can reduce the level of risk or vulnerability that is generally associated with trust.1 As such\, the technology could indirectly contribute to increasing the level of trust that people may be willing to confer in these institutions\, because of the higher degree of predictability associated with their actions. Indeed\, thanks to blockchain technology\, people would no longer need to trust these institutions in toto\, but only to the extent necessary for them to carry on these specific operations that cannot be codified into the formal and deterministic language of a blockchain-based system.” \nSource:\nwww.sciencespo.fr/public/chaire-numerique/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Blockchain-Technology-as-an-Instrument-for-Global-Governance-P.-De-Filippi-1.pdf \nBlockchain and the Law: The Rule of Code\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Blockchain-Law-Rule-Primavera-Filippi/dp/0674976428 \nModeration by Mantalena Kaili (ELONTECH) and Rob van Kranenburg (NGI Forward WP 4 Thinktank) \nFirst respondents are Loretta Anania (EC) and Gaëlle Le Gars (NGI Forward WP 4 Thinktank) \nThe Salons reflect the views of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission but form part of the project’s overarching recommendations for the NGI and future European internet policy.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Internet of Things
DESCRIPTION:NGI FORWARD SALON INTERNET OF THINGS WITH ALICIA ASIN\nThe promise of the IoT market has been growing for the last 15 years\, with many market analysts predicting that we would reach 50 billion devices by the magic year 2020. Now the reality is a little more conservative (we’re about 41 billion devices short of the forecast). Has IoT failed to live up to its promise? No\, but the industry is evolving in a radically different direction to the one predicted a decade and a half ago. \nSo what are the main barriers to IoT adoption that are preventing the industry realising the hype of the mid-2000s\, and how should the industry adapt to them? Libelium’s CEO\, Alicia Asín\, explains concepts such as the hyper fragmentation of the market\, the relevance of the hardware\, the management of the obsolescence\, the security versus the privacy and what to expect from the IoT market after Covid. \nFirst respondent: Gérald Santucci\,\nMember of Global Forum’s International Scientific Committee chez Items International\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldsantucci/

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Explainability
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Explainability with Beatrice Fazi\n29 March 2021; 11.00am CET \nIn this talk\, M. Beatrice Fazi will present and discuss her latest philosophical work on the issue of explainability in AI. The talk will be based on her published article:\nFazi\, M. Beatrice (2020) ‘Beyond Human: Deep Learning\, Explainability and Representation’\, Theory\, Culture & Society. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1177/0263276420966386 \nRegister here: https://app.livestorm.co/made-group/salon-foundationals-on-explainability-with-beatrice-fazi\nArticle’s abstract\nThis article addresses computational procedures that are no longer constrained by human modes of representation and considers how these procedures could be philosophically understood in terms of ‘algorithmic thought’. Research in deep learning is its case study. This artificial intelligence (AI) technique operates in computational ways that are often opaque. Such a black-box character demands rethinking the abstractive operations of deep learning. The article does so by entering debates about explainability in AI and assessing how technoscience and technoculture tackle the possibility to ‘re-present’ the algorithmic procedures of feature extraction and feature learning to the human mind. The article thus mobilises the notion of incommensurability (originally developed in the philosophy of science) to address explainability as a communicational and representational issue\, which challenges phenomenological and existential modes of comparison between human and algorithmic ‘thinking’ operations. \nSpeaker’s bio\nDr M. Beatrice Fazi is Lecturer in Digital Humanities in the School of Media\, Arts and Humanities at the University of Sussex\, United Kingdom. Her research focuses on the ontologies and epistemologies produced by contemporary technoscience\, particularly in relation to issues in artificial intelligence and computation and to their impact on culture and society. Dr Fazi has published extensively on the limits and potentialities of the computational method\, on digital aesthetics and on the automation of thought. Her monograph Contingent Computation: Abstraction\, Experience\, and Indeterminacy in Computational Aesthetics was published by Rowman & Littlefield International in 2018. \nThis presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion on the epistemologies of AI\, with Loretta Anania\, M. Beatrice Fazi\, Gaëlle Le Gars and Rob van Kranenburg. \n\nM. Beatrice Fazi @m_b_fazi\nhttps://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p378975-beatrice-fazi\nLoretta Anania @LorettaAnania\nScientific officer at DG Connect\, Next Generation Internet\nGaelle Le Gars\nIndependent Policy Analyst Specialising on intersecting Digital and Urban Policy\nRob van Kranenburg\nFounder of #IoT Council @robvank\n\nRegister here: https://app.livestorm.co/made-group/salon-foundationals-on-explainability-with-beatrice-fazi\nThe event will be web-streamed on the site of our partner ELONTECH\, the MADE group. \nThe Salons reflect the views of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission but form part of the project’s overarching recommendations for the NGI and future European internet policy.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Participation
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Foundationals: On Participation with Federico Bonelli\nThis talk has 3 parts\, the first should be exposed in 15 minutes the second 20 and the third needs another 15. Don’t take notes\, I will distribute mines and the slides at the end. \nI will try to stop and mark the end of a part\, taking in your contributions on the chat. \nThe occasion for this talk has been given to me by a paper co-authored with Sabrina Sauer titled “Collective improvisation as a means to responsibly govern serendipity in social innovation processes” published in the Journal of Responsible Innovation in 2020. \nIs an open-access paper and you can find it from www.trasformatorio.net website and from the link included in this talk presentation. \nIntroduction to the Lab\nTrasformatorio is a laboratory\, artistic in scope\, where I have experimented ways to create site-specific arts. Is named Trasformatorio because we believed that the scope of genuine art is to engage transformation. The scope was to create a laboratory for enacting transformations. A Laboratory from latin Laboratorium\, a place/space/time to work in. Work is a term that has many meanings in our tradition\, not only the synonymous of labour. There is the work you do on yourself\, the work you do for others\, the work of the actor to possess their character’s actions upon the textual matter of the play. Work is what you do with presence\, intent and quality. And these three concepts\, among others\, are what the artist is busy with most of the time. \nI worked with technology\, most of the time hacking together from pieces that were intended for something else\, rarely doing twice the same operation. I studied many things for many different reasons\, rarely the canonical ones.  When I was exposed to the current methodologies for innovation and design I felt that a big occasion was missing. That there was a coherent corpus of reality bending techniques I had become aware in the field of arts that were watched over by the hype cycle prone industry of innovation. I began using them and cross pollinating. I am still doing it in many ways.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon: Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions | Part 2
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions – Self-sovereign\, Centralised or Privatised? Part 2\nWhy does identity technology matter and to which stakeholders? There are three big stakeholders today; the banks (and financial sector intermediaries in general)\, the ICT sector\, and governments (public services\, agencies\, legislators\, ombudsmen). Other stakeholders include civil society and foundations\, including the open-source open hardware developers and other fringe players that are important to the innovation ecosystem.\nOriginally\, eID was promoted top-down as a way to simplify the citizen’s relationship to the public administration (eg welfare receipts\, taxation). The eIDAS standardisation took many years to agree on how to solve this problem with effective digital authentication technologies (mutual acceptance gains for e-signatures) and a variety of reputable validation mechanisms. It has worked and served its purpose even in the transatlantic context. In EU Member States\, eIDAS now requires at least one central node and a bridge to facilitate the exchange of records to all other nodes\, thus functioning in an interoperable manner.\nBut soon came ‘newer’ technologies and new problems\, for which a revision of the eIDAS regulation is now needed. There is a recognized need to address the complications\, both in terms of cross-border data flows and in terms of certified intergovernmental solutions. \nWe are in a very interesting historical moment where forces (and solid arguments) for centralization and forces (and solid arguments) for decentralization seem to hold each other in check. \nWithout a clear vision on identity\, society will have no agency since the capability to produce future value (data) is not under regional\, nor national\, nor international regulated control. \nTherefore it is important to have a good overview of what is happening in different parts of the world to see if we can not combine innovative solutions. \nIn this session\, we will hear perspectives from Germany\, Next Generation Internet projects\, European Blockchain Partnership and Digital Transformation Agency Australia. \nSPEAKERS\n\nDaniël Du Seuil\nConvenor European Self Sovereign Identity Framework (EBSI) at European Blockchain Partnership\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/danielduseuil/\nLoretta Anania\nscientific officer at DG Connect\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/loretta-anania-2765898/\nJuleigh Cook\nActing Head Digital Identity and myGov strategy stream.

SUMMARY:NGI Forward Salon: Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions | Part 1
DESCRIPTION:NGI Forward Salon Digital Sovereignty in eID-Solutions – Self-sovereign\, Centralised or Privatised? Part 1\nwith Deutsches Forschungsinstitut für öffentliche Verwaltung \, FÖV \nNGI Forward WP4 Salon with organizing partner: German University of Administrative Sciences and German Research Institute for Public Administration – Programme area “Transformation of the state in the digital age”. (Prof. Dr. Mario Martini). \nSCOPE\nElectronic identity (eID) is the enabler of digital transformation: whether in business or in public administration\, citizens and companies need a convenient and secure way to identify themselves in the digital world. \nIn the long term\, however\, an electronic identity should not be limited to simply provide a digital twin to the state-issued ID document. The vision of an eID already shows great potential for revolutionizing a wide range of digital processes\, such as opening a bank account\, verifying an academic degree\, or applying for social welfare payments. \nTime is running out for the government’s own solutions\, because large technology companies have discovered the power of convenient eID solutions that allow them to collect a large amount of data. This makes it more difficult to find holistic\, interoperable solutions in which the user does not become a data supplier. At the same time\, the German administration is under time pressure due to the implementation requirement of the (Online Access Act) OZG by the end of 2022. Without authenticated citizen accounts that individuals can use to log in to the electronic administration\, fully digitized communication between the administration and citizens or companies is impossible. The rollout of OZG services is therefore directly linked to the rollout of digital identities. In a European electronic government network (Single Digital Gateway)\, interoperable solutions not only make economic sense\, but are also a legal requirement. \nIt is therefore hardly surprising that the German chancellor has made digital identity a top priority. With the support of 20 partners from science and industry\, she wants to create facts with the Optimos 2.0 project by September 2021. The stated goal is to develop eID services that enable citizens to securely release personal data to service providers – directly from one’ smartphone. At the same time\, the Ministry of Economy is promoting real-life “showcase regions” with the “Secure Identities” program – with the aim of making digital identities accessible to a relevant number of users and thus creating a state-driven alternative program to Facebook-login or other data-intensive industry solutions. \nThe federal policy strategies thus follow a common line with Brussels: At the Union level\, the eIDAS Regulation pursues the goal of generating an interoperable Europe-wide identity ecosystem from existing isolated solutions. At the core of the EU Commission’s current reform efforts is the intention to promote digital identities through suitable interface standards. \nLast but not least\, the eID card\, which has been introduced in Germany since January 1\, 2021\, represents an important impetus for cross-border legal transactions: It allows citizens from other EU countries to apply for a “digital ID card” in Germany in order to be able to identify themselves digitally in the same way as with a German electronic ID card. This also makes it clear: Anyone who does not think about interoperability and citizen-centricity from the very beginning will either promote eID solutions that are of limited help to users due to their lack of broad impact\, or solutions that users trust only to a limited extent due to questionable data usage. \nBut to what extent have legislative efforts so far been successful in turning the existing isolated solutions of individual industries into a broadly functioning ecosystem? What hurdles must an eID solution overcome in order to be as connectable as it is secure from the citizen’s perspective? How can the digital sovereignty of citizens be ensured? And how can the “German Angst” of a lack of data protection and security be reconciled with technical progress? \nSpeakers\nElizabeth M.

SUMMARY:An NGI Move Salon: Informal Seminar on blockchain and public agency
DESCRIPTION:An NGI Brussels: on blockchain and public agency\nOn blockchain and public agency.\nDecentralized data governance: leveraging on distributed open hardware and software ecosystems based on blockchains\, distributed ledger technology\, open data and peer-to-peer technologies. Attention should be paid to ethical\, legal and privacy issues\, as well as to the concepts of autonomy\, data sovereignty and ownership\, values and regulations. \nIn Smart Decentralisation: Moving From The Cloud To The Fog\, Dominik Schiener\, Co-Founder — IOTA Foundation\, asks what the evolutionary transition towards smart decentralization means for both the internet of things and our society?: “With the introduction of blockchain\, the internet of things will actually move away from the cloud and towards the fog – something that in turn could give rise to a fully autonomous machine economy\, one that no longer needs the intervention of human managers.” DECODE provides tools that put individuals in control of whether they keep their personal data private or share it for the public good. IDEO\, Microsoft\, IOTA support DIF in building an open source decentralized identity ecosystem for people\, organizations\, apps\, and devices. The goal of the World Identity Network (WIN) is to catalyze progress towards universal ID and robust\, secure\, digital identification systems using 21st century technology solutions\, such as the distributed ledger technology (DLT). uPort is an open source software project to establish a global\, unified\, sovereign identity system for people\, businesses\, organizations\, devices\, and bots.

SUMMARY:NGI Move Salon @ 4YFN SMART CITY VILLAGE
DESCRIPTION:NGI Move Salon: FRESH IDEAS ON PRIVACY\, TRUST AND DATALAKE MANAGEMENT | 4YFN LOUNGE @ 4YFN SMART CITY VILLAGE\nNovember the 15th from 12:30 to 13:45\nRoundtable with Rob van Kranenburg (NGI Move) moderating a selected group of invited participants to discuss digital priorities.   \n\nMODERATOR\nRob van Kranenburg (IoT Council\, NGI MOVE) \nSPEAKERS\n\nFrancesca Bria (CTO Barcelona)\nLuis Sanchez (Smart Santander)\nChris Massot (Partner at Claro)\nMarc Pous (thethings_io)\nAntonio Skarmeta (University of Murcia)\nMara Balestrini (IDEAS FOR CHANGE)\n\n\n\nThe main conclusions from the panelists were:\n\nOur vision of technology is still largely influenced by the Computer of the 21st Century paper\, it’s too concerned with the pushing the boundaries of technology without questioning its meaning and role\nEnhance education\, especially with a STEAM (STEM + Arts and creativity) approach\, so that people can learn to value their data and have more agency and awareness when sharing them with third-parties.\nSharing data is crucial to solve world problems as the ones identified by the Sustainable Development Goals\n\n\nThe most inspiring outcome from the panel was the focus on new ideas on privacy. \nThe general feeling is that the GDPR might be a starting-point\, but is looking at privacy in a too static way. In a fully connected environment of potential added value to citizens the new term ‘privacies’ was very well received. Privacies can be described as dynamic levels of accountability\, levels that can be set according to predefined rules and are in control of the end-user. Such concepts are more easily hard-codable and reflect the new given: privacy in a hybrid world is a process distributed over the environment (smart)\, a citizen (grown up in the digital)\, and the objects themselves (dynamic and learning environments themselves). \n\nNGI – Towards a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens!\nNGI Move\, @NGI4EU brings you Salons and Meetings all over Europe to promote\, exchange and debate the Next Generation Internet movement. \nWhat should the Next Generation Internet look like? | Join the NGI-Movement @NGI4EU

SUMMARY:NGI Move Salon @ SMART CITY PLAZA
DESCRIPTION:NGI Move Salon: TOWARDS A FUTURE INTERNET THAT BETTER RESPONDS TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE CITIZENS!\nAGORA STAGE @ SMART CITY PLAZA\nNovember the 15th from 10:00am to 10:45am\nMODERATOR\nMarta Arniani (Founder of Futuribile) \nSPEAKERS\n\nMarc Pous (thethings_io)\nOleguer Sagarra (decode Tech coordinator)\nMara Balestrini (IDEAS FOR CHANGE)\n\n\nMethodology: awareness and education\, narrative drivers for stories\, examples to create immediate action\nThere is an even bigger divide between explaining the current drivers of the Digital Transition to a lay audience than the original Digital Divide (having access and primary skills). Paradoxically the effects of the hybrid nature of the digital are visible and present in everyday life and interactions: fake news\, depression among youngsters\, addiction to social media\, sexting\, and on a more economic scale\, fear of job loss because of robotic automatization\, lack of agency on a political level (fining innovative companies or legally trying to regulate fat protection\, (GDPR). The dominant narrative is fear\, even from the policy perspectives that should try to create enthusiasm for opportunities and possibilities. We lack a possibilist framework. Without it finding good examples to explain the opportunities of a hybrid reality for everyday life and Europe as a 500 million zone is very difficult. NGI.eu should be part of the solution to this. \n  \nPlurality\n\nWhich stakeholders are involved concretely in the concept and implementation of data sovereignty – as data is new oil – what is the process of of granting data ownership?\nWhy are citizens unable to see themselves and their networked identities as central to organizing building-blocks around that level of agency\, but keep outsourcing this level of agency to another state building scenario? Why\, in other words do people take to the streets for abstract notions such as ‘Spain’\, ‘Catalonia’\, ‘England/Great-Britain’\, and why if they refuse to be ruled from ‘outside’ can they not see that they themselves always posit this notion of ‘outside’\, not from a position of the individual – themselves – but from a previously fixed set of rules that they have come to view as such?\n\nWe acknowledge the fact that before we can offer tools of decentralized data management from the point of view of the ‘citizen’\, that citizen first has to emancipate his or herself into the level of primary agency\, or rather citizens have to own the framing of their subjectivity. This is not the case now as we can see clearly played out in the streets of Barcelona\, England and other EU nations. \nHannah Arendt recognizes that plurality can best be experienced at city-level. “The larger the population in any given body politic\, the more likely it will be the social rather than the political that constitutes the public realm” (Arendt 1959\, p. 39). With big numbers\, plurality degenerates into mere and unendorsed interdependence\, while natality and its inherent openness and unpredictability are perceived only under the categories of uncertainty and risk. \nCan the notion of plurality help us understand the current situation in which citizens instead of decentralizing to the level of their subjectivity\, engage with a new level of state agency? \nTerritorial identities seem to be the last binary that remains relatively acceptable as a social agent. Whereas discrimination in terms of gender\, race\, age is firmly addressed and sanctioned\, it remains acceptable still to identify as a person from a particular territory\, a binary as one either is in or out. \n  \nBlockchain\nIn Smart Decentralisation: Moving From The Cloud To The Fog\, Dominik Schiener\, Co-Founder — IOTA Foundation\, asks what the evolutionary transition towards smart decentralisation means for both the internet of things and our society: “With the introduction of blockchain\, the internet of things will actually move away from the cloud and towards the fog – something that in turn could give rise to a fully autonomous machine economy\, one that no longer needs the intervention of human managers.” \nCan individuals build and maintain social networks through which they “negotiate” their identities and subjectivity that brings them together in a different way that bridges the current gap between authorities and end-users? \n  \ndecodeproject.eu\nDECODE is about giving people ownership of the personal data so they can secure their privacy and reclaim their digital sovereignty. It will create new technologies which put them in control of how their data is used so they can decide who has access\, and for what purposes. In doing so\, DECODE will create a new digital economy ecosystem\, enabling in particular the rise of platform cooperatives and data commons. The new technology will be piloted in Amsterdam and Barcelona. A key principle of this will be the pursuit of social value over purely economic return. It will also enable governments to be more responsive to citizen needs. \nDECODE is a response to five key problems created by the use of personal data in the internet economy: \n\nThe way that many internet-oriented companies use personal data erodes people’s privacy and creates threats to their online security\nThe abundance of personal data and lack of control over how it is used and shared exposes people to discriminatory and exclusionary practices\nThe integral role personal data plays in the internet economy means there are barriers to entry for new firms\nPersonal data contributes to network effects which make it possible for companies to become excessively dominant. This is especially problematic in the sharing and collaborative economy.\nPersonal data\, if anonymised\, could have considerable benefits for society\, helping us to live more sustainably and deliver better public services. Without individuals having control over personal data\, these benefits can’t be realised.\n\nDECODE will create a number of practical tools as part of a technical infrastructure. This will include personal data storage options\, the ability to specify in granular detail how data is shared and with whom\, privacy-preserving tools which enable authenticated digital participation without revealing private information\, and a mechanism for anonymised data to be pooled so that it can be used by governments\, researchers\, innovators and not-for-profit organisations. \n\nNGI – Towards a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens!\nNGI Move\, @NGI4EU brings you Salons and Meetings all over Europe to promote\, exchange and debate the Next Generation Internet movement. \nWhat should the Next Generation Internet look like? | Join the NGI-Movement @NGI4EU

SUMMARY:An NGI Move Salon: What's next for the Internet (of Things)
DESCRIPTION:An NGI Move Salon.\nSalon Nr 1: What’s next for the Internet (of Things)\nWhere is the Internet heading? What are the strengths and the weaknesses of its present form\, and what are the likely/possible/ideal next steps and directions of its development? \nWe are delighted to bring to you Rob van Kranenburg of NGI Move\, who was one of the first people ever to use the term “the Internet of Things”\, and who has recently started to run a series of “NGI Move Salons” around Europe\, aimed at (i) rethinking the functioning and the potentials of the Internet (in terms of technology\, governance\, sustainability)\, and (ii) inspiring novel public\, as well as private services & products relying on the next generation Internet. \nThe event is organized by early-stage hardware and IoT focused startup investor SmartWare.tech\, and will feature a panel discussion among: \n\nRob van Kranenburg of NGI Move (NGI standing for “Next Generation Internet”)\nÁkos Maróy\, CEO at Aero Glass \n\nPéter Langmár\, partner at SmartWare.tech and CEO at Lab.Coop\nModerator: Barnabás Málnay\, partner at SmartWare.tech and business developer at EIT Digital.\n\n\nAbout 20 people joined the meeting. After a general intro on IoT and the speed and scope of the digital transition we focused on the model and topics of ICT 24. General agreement that cascading funds is a good model\, also general ‘worry’ that purely professional process organizations without a vision would be able to occupy the 20% spaces. Thus\, it is important\, it was noted from the Latvian and Berlin side that some granularity and reflection is necessary patched on Funding Box or other type of incubator organizations. \nAlso raised: the perceived optimism around NGI able to not only defensively (GDPR) look at privacy for example but come up with radical new models to look at trust. \nIndividual Meetings make connections to potential consortium members for „ICT-24-2018-2019: Next Generation Internet – An Open Internet Initiative” \n#privacy #trust #decentralized #NGI4EU \n \n\nNGI – Towards a future Internet that better responds to the expectations of the citizens!\nNGI Move\, @NGI4EU brings you Salons and Meetings all over Europe to promote\, exchange and debate the Next Generation Internet movement. \nWhat should the Next Generation Internet look like? | Join the NGI-Movement @NGI4EU \n\n\nSmartWare.tech is a Hungary-based investor looking to partner with exceptionally brilliant\, motivated\, and growth-oriented early-stage hardware and IoT companies\, helping them get through the most critical early stages of their development trajectories. Besides providing them with pre-seed funding in the range of 20-200k EUR\, the Accelerator supports its portfolio companies primarily in (i) building effective MVPs and prototypes\, (ii) jumpstarting customer development\, (iii) designing and sharpening business models\, and (iv) preparing for raising follow-up funding.
