Description
How is NGI Sargasso supporting innovation in hashtag#NextGenerationInternet?Four of our NGISargassoInnovators took the stage, moderated by our coordinator Emmanuel Detsis, from ESF - European Science Foundation:
🔹 Yuting JIANG, CEO of Agora Citizen Network, is developing a citizen network purposefully designed for civic dialogues, since today social networks are "very powerful tools to manipulate public opinion", in which users can prove anonymously that they are humans, and not bots, she explained.
🔹 Alex Bourlier, Co-Founder of Startin'blox, is creating data spaces making access to data easier. He highlighted the possibility given by NGI Sargasso to access top business opportunities in the USA market.
🔹 Christos Stefanatos, Project Leader at EV Loader, remarked that the NGI Sargasso Brokerage Platform to find a partner across the Atlantic was a "matchmaking heaven". He is developing a software to optimize and streamline payments in electric vehicles charging stations, protecting users' data.
🔹 Erik Hieta-aho, Senior Scientist at VTT, thinks that quantum algorithms are the future that will impact every company. With HPQCSSI, or Hybrid PQC Self-Sovereign Identity Stack, he is making digitalcredentials more secure.
Our Project Officer from the European Commission, Stergios Tsiafoulis 🇪🇺, opened this session to speak about NGI - The Next Generation Internet initiative, creating an InternetOfHumans for Europe by funding over 1.500 ideas. He also emphasized that NGI Sargasso was the first project fostering collaboration between Europe and USA and Canada. In fact, we have funded 50 innovators through five open calls, distributing a total €4.8M 💶.
🚀 Monique Calisti, CEO of Martel Innovate and NGI Outreach Office Director, encouraged the audience to keep building an InternetOfTrust, and to apply for the NGI open calls.
Together, we will keep building bridges for the future of the Internet at ngisargasso.eu! ✨
