LOFAR - the Low Frequency Array is a radio telescope operating at frequencies below 200 MHz. It will enable the sky to be studied in a region of the electro-magnetic spectrum that is almost entirely unexplored, certainly at this high spatial resolution and sensitivity. I will present the LOFAR concept, the new capabilities of the telescope and the progress to date, including the first commissioning observations and the emergence of the International LOFAR Telescope (ILT), incorporating LOFAR stations from all over Europe. I will also describe the scientific goals of the project, briefly touching upon the multi-disciplinary aspects of the system. Finally, I will explain how LOFAR is a scientific and technological pathfinder for the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a global 1.5 Billion Euro project that aims to be under construction later in this decade.
