NGI TRANSOCEANIC

Funding EU-USA innovations towards the next generation internet built on trust.

Next generation internet platform for coordinated EU-USA networking, research, and innovation open funding calls 

The 48-month EU-funded project NGI Transoceanic will launch three 18-month open calls for technology development, demonstrators and standards contributions for next-generation internet topics worth €3.2 million, and contribute to the expansion of the EU-USA Twinning Lab through the involvement of key players across EU and the USA. NGI Transoceanic builds on the success of the precursor initiative NGIAtlantic.eu (2020-2023) as well as the foundation provided by the NGI initiative of the European Commission, which aims to shape the development and evolution of a new Internet that responds to people’s fundamental needs, including trust, security, and inclusion, while reflecting the values and the norms all citizens enjoy in Europe.
