IGF-Spain is an open and decentralized space for the debate on policies that support the susttainability and
robustness of the Internet. This is a national initiative inspired by the Internet Governance Forum, a platform

own identity in terms of culture, language and respect towards individuals’ rights, always in line with regional
strategies and international conventions and agreements.
