About the Committee

The Data Centre & Data Centre Interconnection Committee is the FTTH Council Europe's newest committee, established to reflect the Council's expanded remit across data centres and the fibre infrastructure that connects them.

The Committee's current work programme includes a report on hollow core fibre (HCF) and multi-core fibre (MCF), a DCI market study developed with the Board, and updates to the Market Panorama to capture the Council's broader scope. Alongside this, the Committee is developing a programme of educational webinars for members on AI-driven data centres, covering the underlying drivers and market trends, internal data centre architectures and wider interconnection architectures.

The Committee also leads the data centre and interconnection content at the annual FTTH Conference, shaping several hours of programming across the full breadth of the Council's expanded remit.
Further outputs will follow, including new assets, market studies and content developed for the upcoming FTTH Conference. Click here and join us!

The Investors Committee has been actively engaged over the past months in addressing the current challenges and opportunities facing the fibre sector. The Committee has been closely monitoring the market environment, which continues to be challenging for both debt and equity financing in fibre. Analysis of recent trends indicates that not all business plans are meeting investors’ expectations, highlighting the need for greater alignment between industry ambitions and investor requirements.

In response to these challenges, the Investors Committee has identified the urgent need to develop a refreshed narrative for the fibre sector. This narrative will serve as a key tool in presenting opportunities more effectively to investors and banks, ensuring the sector’s growth potential is communicated clearly and persuasively. The Committee has also been working in close cooperation with other Council committees, recognising that a cross-functional approach is essential to provide investors with a holistic view of the sector’s development, sustainability, and technological evolution.

Looking ahead, the Investors Committee is preparing a series of meetings with investors for Q4 2025, designed to foster dialogue, share insights, and explore investment opportunities. Council members are encouraged to join the Committee, contributing their expertise and helping to strengthen the sector’s engagement with the investment community. The Committee remains committed to supporting the fibre sector in navigating the current market challenges while positioning it for long-term growth and sustainable investment.
