Background
The upcoming 'digital era' and 'hyper-connected society' must be based on principles that are in line with our values like openness, neutrality, cooperation, inclusion, transparency, protection of data and privacy. The Next Generation Internet (NGI) should be an Internet that is dependable and trustable. An internet for the people, which creates new usage and new business opportunities to establish Europe as a globally trusted hub.
The objectives of presenting NGI at the Mobile World Congress 2018 and especially at Four Years From Now (4YFN) are:
- To generate awareness around the NGI initiative among a global community of stakeholders
- To bring and engage new members to NGI ecosystem among target groups such as citizens, policy makers, researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, hackers, students, etc.
