Regional representatives
Regional Representatives drive forward the mission of NGI Zero for R&D, funding, and the adoption of free and open-source technologies. They help to better understand and address the needs of specific regions or countries.
The representatives have a dual role: to engage local communities and invite them to participate in the NGI Zero programmes and as a promotor of the open technological building blocks within the existing NGI Zero portfolio.
There are currently two regional representatives:
- Dr. Chrystalleni Loizidou
NGI Zero Cyprus - Lio Novelli
NGI Zero Slovenia
