We are happy to share that 62 projects will receive grants from the NGI Zero Commons Fund. We congratulate the selected projects and look forward to their contributions to increasing society's digital autonomy.
Ranging from browser-based cellular networking to decentralised social media, and professional print, these projects are showing that a bright digital future is not only possible but already being built.
Come over and meet the projects!

I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸

I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅
More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟
