Event Description
The 1st European Conference on the Future Internet (ECFI) in Brussels on 2-3 April 2014 aims at bringing together key stakeholders to discuss how Europe can achieve global leadership in ICT by 2020 through innovative Internet technologies.
In this context, industry and political stakeholders will discuss central socio-economic and technological topics of Future Internet infrastructures and services in Europe.
The event will present cutting-edge research results on the European Internet infrastructures and services of the future, which have been developed in the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI-PPP). The event links the discussion of FI-PPP results with a wider perspective on the Future Internet in the context of the EU’s Digital Agenda by including partners like Digital Europe and the European Internet Foundation (EIF) in the programme.
Target audience:
ECFI is particularly targeting political stakeholders, including representatives of public bodies and private associations, as well as ICT industry stakeholders, including innovation managers and CIOs from large and medium-sized companies, who are involved in shaping the networks and services of the future. We also welcome representatives of other Future-Internet related initiatives from Europe and abroad as well as SMEs planning to get involved in phase 3 of the Future Internet PPP.
