Dear Everyone,

The Internet is for everyone. It gives people opportunities and boosts economic development. But for everyone to leverage the Internet's full potential, it needs to be affordable and reliable. This is why we need to keep building and improving infrastructure, like Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), working with local and regional communities to create a thriving Internet ecosystem that keeps traffic local, reduces costs, sparks development, and improves the quality of Internet services.
Today, we?re excited to announce that the 2025 Sustainable Peering Infrastructure Funding Program is now open for applications. Funding will specifically support:

  1.  Existing IXPs that need additional funding to grow or become sustainable

  1.  Organizations that hope to build a new IXP

  1.  Entities that work with local communities to improve peering and infrastructure

  1.  Entities that provide a positive contribution to the entire IXP ecosystem
Grant funds up to USD $70,000 are open to all regions and are available to assist in equipment purchases (switches, optic modules, servers, and routers), training, capacity building, and community development.

Bonjour,
L?Internet est pour tout le monde. Cela donne des opportunit?s aux gens et stimule le d?veloppement ?conomique. Mais pour que chacun puisse exploiter tout le potentiel d?Internet, il doit ?tre abordable et fiable. C'est pourquoi nous devons continuer ? construire et ? am?liorer les infrastructures, comme les points d'?change Internet (IXP), en travaillant avec les communaut?s locales et r?gionales pour cr?er un ?cosyst?me Internet prosp?re qui maintient le trafic local, r?duit les co?ts, stimule le d?veloppement et am?liore la qualit? des services Internet.
Aujourd?hui, nous sommes ravis d?annoncer que le programme de financement d?infrastructures de peering durable 2025 est d?sormais ouvert aux candidatures. Le financement soutiendra sp?cifiquement :

  1.  Les IXP existants qui ont besoin d?un financement suppl?mentaire pour se d?velopper ou devenir durables

  1.  Les organisations qui esp?rent construire un nouvel IXP

  1.  Les entit?s qui travaillent avec les communaut?s locales pour am?liorer le peering et les infrastructures

  1.  Les entit?s qui apportent une contribution positive ? l?ensemble de l??cosyst?me IXP
Des subventions allant jusqu'? 70 000 USD sont ouvertes ? toutes les r?gions et sont disponibles pour aider ? l'achat d'?quipements (commutateurs, modules optiques, serveurs et routeurs), ? la formation, au renforcement des capacit?s et au d?veloppement communautaire. Les candidatures sont accept?es du 28 janvier au 27 mars 2025.
