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!

DEI Committee Advances ESG Collaboration and Prepares for FTTH Conference 2026

During the autumn period, the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee collaborated closely with the Sustainability and Investors Committees to carry out an in-depth analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) key performance indicators within the FTTH industry. This joint effort aimed to better understand how ESG metrics are currently measured and applied across the sector.

The outcomes of this collaborative work were presented to members during the November General Assembly, providing valuable insights into the current state of ESG performance and highlighting opportunities for further progress, particularly in the social dimension of sustainability.

As the new year begins, the DEI Committee is now focusing its efforts on preparations for the FTTH Conference 2026 in London. The Committee is reaffirming the central role of diversity, equity and inclusion in driving industry success, with a specific emphasis on strengthening the “Social” impact of ESG frameworks. This work will support the industry’s ongoing commitment to responsible growth, inclusive practices and long-term value creation.

Help us create a brighter future!
