The Swedish Internet Foundation is an independent public-service organisation that acts to ensure positive development of the internet. The foundation is based in Sweden and is responsible for the internet's Swedish top-level domain, .se, and the operation of the .nu top-level domain, that of Niue. It is also a public-service organization that operates identity federations, which comprise secure and scalable solutions[buzzword] for account and password management. These create the preconditions to facilitate work with digital processes within healthcare and schools in Sweden.
The Swedish Internet Foundation's charter states that any surplus should be used to improve the stability of internet infrastructure in Sweden and to promote research, training and education with a focus on the internet. The goal is to invest at least 25 percent of the revenue in various projects that develop the internet. In 2020, SEK 88.1 million was invested.[1]
The Swedish Internet Foundation is responsible for Internetmuseum, a Swedish digital museum opened in 2014. In June 2016 Internetmuseum was inducted to The Association of Swedish Museums (Riksförbundet Sveriges museer) as the first entirely digital museum.[2] The ambition of the museum is to spread knowledge of the Swedish history of Internet and to preserve the digital heritage.[3]
Until 2017, its name was Internet Foundation in Sweden, abbreviated IIS.
