This workshop (by invitation only) is co-organised by Vlaio, Innoviris and a great help of NGI national Contact Point, Philippe Thiran, Sirris.

Last autumn the Commission launched the ambitious and open Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative.

The NGI initiative is a broad and long-term initiative, mostly focusing on new technology areas as for example a better protection for private data, new internet architectures, decentralized data systems and new discovery and identification tools.

Together with (young) researchers, start-ups, SMEs and social innovators the European Commission will push the development of these new internet technologies based on an agile and flexible programme approach to shape the Internet of the future.

In order to feed Commission’s work and collect inputs, NGI workshops are organized at national/regional levels. The Brussels and Flemish Regions are joining their forces to organize a joint workshop on February 21st 2018 in Brussels.
