NGI Initiative

The Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative, launched by the European Commission in the autumn of 2016, aims to shape the future internet as an interoperable platform ecosystem that embodies the values that Europe holds dear: openness, inclusivity, transparency, privacy, cooperation, and protection of data. The NGI will drive this technological revolution and ensure the progressive adoption of advanced concepts and methodologies spanning the domains of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, interactive technologies and more, while contributing to making the future internet more human-centric.

The Next Generation Internet Outreach Office (NGIO) coordinates communication, dissemination and marketing activities for the NGI initiative across Europe and beyond. It voices the NGI community and promotes its work to maximise its impact.

Established in January 2019, the NGI Outreach Office brings together the work done by past and present NGI projects under one umbrella. We help NGI projects collaborate and provide a single contact point for those wishing to join and get involved with the Next Generation Internet initiative.
