eI-Africa is very pleased to welcome a new associated partner to the “2010 Euro-Africa e-Infrastructures Conference”.

Networked and Electronic Media (NEM) is one of the European Industrial Initiatives, also known as Technology Platforms, established by relevant key European stakeholders, which address the convergence of media, communications, consumer electronics, and IT as a wide opportunity for future growth, by taking advantage of generalized broadband access, increased mobility, availability of richer media formats and contents, as well as new home networks and communications platforms. One key objective of the Platform is to build a pan-European NEM infrastructure as a sustainable technology carrier allowing integration of projects results, as a permanent evaluation facility, to test and validate service models, and as a vehicle for international cooperation. Furthermore, the NEM Technology Platform stimulates worldwide development of regulations and standardisation policies and promotes and develops international cooperation.
