The signature of the Machi Future Internet Vision document marked the formal start of this community of entrepreneurs, researchers and government officials which goal is to unite interests to strengthen R&D activities with the European Union. Machi Future Internet community is a mirror of similar groups in Europe that covers several thematic areas, known as European Technology Platforms (ETP). There are ETPs covering the most diverse subjects: energy, water, transportation, future internet, software, mobile communications, etc. Since Machi emerged as an initiative of the FIRST project, established by the European Commission, the direct benefit for its members is the relationship with European counterparts who share similar interests, thus Machi has been established as a gateway to internationalization.
