TETRA Event: NGI Pitch and Matchmaking Event

Application is open for the NGI Pitch and Matchmaking Event. The Next Generation Internet (NGI) is a European Commission initiative that aims to shape the development and evolution of the Internet into an Internet of Humans. An 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. The TETRA project is organizing the first Pitch and Matchmaking event for the whole NGI Community! The event is structured in two parts:

1. Morning session: dedicated to TETRA materials (guidelines, reports, recordings, etc.) available for NGI innovators; Overview of the NGI Initiative and its impact; Upcoming Open Calls
2. Afternoon session: dedicated to a Pitch competition with external investors as jury members; Matchmaking session and TETRA Alumni

   We are creating more Clusters (Breakout rooms) as they receive applications, to tailor them around your projects and facilitate interesting knowledge share.
   • Big Data, machine learning and AI
   • Decentralized solutions (ledger and blockchain)
   • Healthcare and well-being technology
2. TETRA Start-up Team: ask for tips and short mentoring to experts (external and from TETRA Consortium) in the field of Intellectual Property; Fundraising; Investment readiness; New markets, sales and business models and much more!
