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 promoter of the open technological building blocks within the existing NGI Zero portfolio.

These are the NGI Zero regional representatives currently active:
