The ambitious vision of the NGI programme, launched by the European Commission in 2016 to shape the future internet as an interoperable platform ecosystem that embodies openness, inclusivity, transparency, privacy, cooperation, and protection of data, requires the involvement of the best Internet researchers and innovators to address technological opportunities arising from cross-links and advances in research fields ranging from network infrastructures to platforms, and application domains to social innovation.
The NGI Early Adopters’ Club, established and run by the SpeakNGI project, gathered, over the last 2 years, 60+ innovators from all around Europe that champion NGI values, whether at the national or local policy level, including civil society groups, start-ups, SMEs, research institutes and innovation hubs across Europe.
