The interactive panel on Tuesday 27th of February 2018 @ MWC2018 was a success and the ideal moment to place the NGI and its approach in the current mobile world by highlighting the opportunities this initiative could bring to #creating a better future.
The opening by Pearse O’Donohue, European Commission, Director CONNECT/E ‘Future Networks’ on NGI – What is the Next Generation Internet-Initiative aiming for? was followed by a key note speech on ‘Challenges for a trustworthy Internet’ from Dr. Sergi Figuerola, CTIO of i2CAT.
This was followed by an interactive panel discussion on ‘Will privacy enhancing business models drive the NGI?’ with:

Thanks to the amazing panelists, we had an engaging discussion including an active audience that raised interesting questions and enriched the ongoing discussion on how privacy enhancing business models will change our future and will change the dynamics of NGI, too.
Finally, in line with #creating a better future to wrap up this session with the following statement:
NGI = applications
NGI = a culture of people engagement in technologies
NGI = prototyping and continuous experimentation
NGI = bring business, society and regulators together.
