Basic Internet Foundation

ConnectTheFuture through free access to information for every single human. Join our quest to make this vision a reality! Digital Inclusion and free access to information is the catalyst for most of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda 2030. Thus- the Foundation works for optimised content delivery on capacity-limited networks through low cost infrastructure, addressing areas with low admission and/or no Internet coverage- the Foundation assists organisations and companies to adapt and disseminate information to everyone, and thus empower underprivileged societies- the Foundation performs research and development to achieve free access to information as part of sustainable infrastructures. Assistance may include educational systems, healthcare, agriculture information, innovation, development, banking or other services that contribute to increased welfare and value creation to benefit the population in the respective areas.* The Foundation will offer their benefits based on needs and in as many areas as possible.* The Foundation is not bound to own/operate and deliver their benefits in perpetuity in an area. When factors such as social conditions, markets or economy have evolved satisfactorily, the Foundation can terminate its involvement in the region. The Foundation may then sell/transfer assets, rights and obligations onto commercial operators. The Foundation was established in December 2014 as collaboration between The University Graduate Centre (UNIK) and Kjeller Innovasjon AS.
