Panel 4 - Policy & Regulation

As fibre deployment accelerates across Europe and beyond, policy and regulation are playing an increasingly decisive role in shaping market outcomes. From investment incentives and state aid to competition rules, access obligations, and permitting, regulatory choices will determine the pace, scale, and sustainability of future fibre networks.

This session brings together policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders to examine how regulatory frameworks can better support long-term investment while preserving fair competition. The discussion will address current regulatory challenges, upcoming policy shifts, and the need for greater alignment between public objectives and private capital.

Designed for senior stakeholders, this session provides critical insight into how policy decisions today will influence fibre rollout, market structure, and digital competitiveness in the years ahead.
