FI3P :: Future Internet Public Private Partnership

Final study workshop

To stimulate the competitiveness of the European Internet industry, the European Commission launched the Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (FI PPP), an initiative framed under the Digital Agenda for Europe and endowed with Euro 500m to support the emergence of Future Internet-enhanced applications of public and social relevance. To support the Commission in the Digital Agenda, the study on the economic and societal future impact of Internet technologies was commissioned in 2011. The aim of the study was to identify the challenges and opportunities for the European Internet industry, estimate the potential future economic contributions of the European Internet industry, estimate the economic impacts of the current Future Internet PPP, identify, assess and address the future barriers to competitiveness of the European Internet industry. To validate and discuss the key findings of the study, the Commission has organized a workshop in Brussels on May 3 2012. The workshop is open to everyone with a keen interest in Internet economics.
