About the Committee

The Investments & ESG Committee brings together the work of the Council's former Investors, Sustainability and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committees under a single structure, reflecting how closely capital, environmental performance and social responsibility are now linked in digital infrastructure.

The Committee provides a forum for investors, operators and industry experts to examine the financial and non-financial factors shaping fibre and data centre investment across Europe. Its scope spans the investment landscape and financing conditions for network rollout, the environmental footprint and sustainability credentials of fibre infrastructure, and the governance and diversity practices that support a resilient, competitive industry.

By combining these perspectives, the Committee aims to give members a clearer view of how ESG considerations influence investment decisions,  and how the sector can demonstrate its value to the investors, policymakers and stakeholders who rely on that evidence.

Panel 15 - Monetizing FTTH networks

How to monetize the immense value offered by full-fibre networks? As the European Union advances in its path to the Digital Decade and adoption of fibre-based services has now become a pressing issue, this question is often raised in Board Rooms of service providers across Europe. With the FTTH infrastructure unleashing unprecedented potential, this panel session scrutinizes strategies and innovative approaches for service providers to unlock new and alternative revenue streams. Panellists seek to unravel this 1-billion-euro question, exploring monetization models, value-added services, and business frameworks that can capitalize on the transformative capabilities of full-fibre networks.  

Be prepared for a dynamic discussion providing actionable insights into turning connectivity into tangible economic returns.
