The DAPSI project will hold its final event on February 2

DAPSI is the Data Portability and Services Incubator that empowers leading Internet Innovators to develop people-centric technology solutions that address the challenge of personal data portability on the Internet, as foreseen in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The project is included in the Next Generation Internet (NGI), which is a European Union initiative that aims to shape the development of the Internet into people’s Internet by responding to their main needs, including trust, security, and inclusion.
