Our contribution: an internet that belongs to the people again

In this episode, founder Robert Jan Lamers explains why the internet must return to its original purpose: serving its users, not just a few tech giants.

He shares:

  • How today’s internet is designed for Big Tech’s benefit, not yours
  • How the decentralised alternative gives control of data and infrastructure back to individuals and businesses
  • What you can already do today: from secure cloud storage to AI and collaboration without central platforms
  • How anyone can get started; no technical skills needed, full control guaranteed

He also demonstrates just how simple it is to reclaim ownership of your digital life. Because technology should serve people, not the other way around.

Why watch?

  • Learn how to reclaim ownership of your data
  • See how the internet can become greener and more ethical
  • Discover how your organisation can operate independently from Big Tech
  • Get inspired by a solution that already exists and is easy to adopt
