“In the 1970s, many doubted there
were uses for even 50-kilobit-per-
second Internet. But soon application
explorers came up with remote
login, file transfer, and email.
Pioneers have since found new worlds
in
telephony, television, publishing, and
commerce.
At the US Ignite Application Summit, we
are demonstrating that application
explorers are once again pushing the
envelope of possibility in ways that will
transform how Americans experience

We’re at a time in our country’s history when we need to build the interstate system all over again. But if we truly built the internet’s ultrafast interstate now, it would be like having an auto interstate for a population that only drives horses and buggies or Tin Lizzies. We aim to “ignite” and connect the various parties in building truly compelling, next-gen applications that can run on top of the ultra-fast networks. To do this, US Ignite is the “+”s in this equation. We are the conveners of the communities and their needs with the providers of new technologies that address those needs – and we coordinate to help match the right resources to create the applicationsUS Ignite’s priority areas are healthcare, education, advanced manufacturing, energy, and
Ecosystem: We use five approaches to facilitate creation of next-generation applications, including: 1. University applications funded by NSF grants over the past four years.2. Corporate lab or value-added developer initiatives.3. Community-led apps to meet specific community problems.4. US-Ignite-generated ideas that have evolved as a result of its clearinghouse role. 5. Mozilla Ignite challenge that has generated 100s of great new app ideas. Now I’d like to quickly provide a sample of the kinds of next-generation applications under development—Imagine the following:
