How to Master Europe’s Digital Infrastructure Needs?

On June 12, 2023, we had the pleasure of hosting the event “How to Master Europe’s Digital Infrastructure Needs?”, supported by Euractiv as our Media Partner. The event focused on understanding the diverse needs of stakeholders in the digital infrastructure industry and discussing the European Commission’s proposed policy actions for the new legislative term.

The event began with an insightful presentation by Benoît Felten from Plum Consulting. He walked us through their latest report on the European Commission’s White Paper concerning the future of the telecom market. Benoît highlighted the potential implications of the proposed policy actions on various stakeholders, setting the stage for a deeper discussion.

Following the presentation, a panel discussion delved into the White Paper’s vision, exploring themes such as industry regulation, investment strategies, and the balance between EU-wide policies and member state-specific needs. The panelists shared their diverse perspectives on how these policies could shape Europe’s digital infrastructure and competitiveness.

A special thank you to our esteemed speakers for their invaluable insights:
