The Next Generation Internet (NGI) is a flagship initiative launched by European Commission. It 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.  

In LEDGER, funded by EU Horizon 2020 and supported by Aalto University and Cambridge Science Park, Mesensei explores decentralised technologies and business models where data is a common good owned by citizens and wealth created by data-driven platforms is equally distributed. First deliverables by Mesensei in LEDGER, are the recently launched MVP for Unified Science, and a concept for a village app, which features a local economy model to support voluntary work and citizen science.

Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, and Juha Sipilä, the Prime Minister of Finland, visited our offices at Aalto University’s Kiuas Accelerator to discuss private social networks and digital innovation in the EU.
