The FTTH Council Europe has been monitoring annually the evolution of full-fibre deployment throughout Europe since 2012. This essential work has been driven by the Market Intelligence Committee which publishes our flagship report FTTH/B Market Panorama, complete with FTTH Forecasts for Europe. The survey is commissioned through an external partner and the role of the Committee is to complete and refine these data based on the comprehensive input coming from the network of experts from our 150 members active in all European countries.

FTTH members have access to a more detailed version of the report with granular information regarding the individual FTTH markets in each of the 39 countries surveyed.

Two more reports have been produced under initiative of the Market Intelligence Committee, and launched during the last FTTH Virtual Conference 2021: the latest figures of the FTTH Forecasts for 2021 and 2026 and an overview of fibre deployments in rural areas.

The Market Intelligence Committee is also involved in other studies such as Copper Switch Off, Best Practices in Fibre advertising and the Socio Economic Impact of FTTH.

Roundtable on Advanced Connectivity & Industrial Value Creation

Event: Roundtable on Advanced Connectivity & Industrial Value Creation – Building the Virtuous Cycle for Europe’s Key Industries
Speaker: Vincent Garnier – Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Date and Time: 2 October 2025, 14:30-17:00
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Organiser: Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU)

As Europe advanced toward technological sovereignty and a more competitive industrial base, the transition from 5G to 6G offered significant opportunities to align research, innovation, and investment with the needs of key industrial sectors, including mobility, logistics, energy, defence, and manufacturing.

This exclusive invitation-only roundtable convened senior decision-makers from telecom operators, technology players, vertical industries, cloud and satellite providers, and EU policymakers. The discussion focused on identifying actionable strategies that could turn advanced connectivity into tangible economic value for Europe. Key topics included evaluating business readiness in industry segments, leveraging current and future 5G/6G technology capabilities, deriving lessons from 5G commercial impact, and exploring EU policy and funding approaches to accelerate adoption.

FTTH Council Europe contributed expert insights on how fibre infrastructure and connectivity solutions could support the deployment and monetisation of advanced networks, ensuring Europe’s industrial competitiveness. In-person participation was encouraged to engage directly in this strategic dialogue and to network with stakeholders shaping Europe’s digital infrastructure priorities.

Help us create a brighter future!
