Panel 12 - Fibre Business to Business market

As digital transformation accelerates across industries, demand for high-capacity, low-latency connectivity is reshaping the fibre business-to-business (B2B) market. Enterprises, cloud providers, and data-intensive sectors are increasingly relying on fibre infrastructure to support mission-critical operations, hybrid work, and rapidly growing data traffic.

This panel brings together industry leaders from Opensignal, Covage, 1&1 Versatel, Colt Technology Services, and Eurofiber to explore how the B2B fibre market is evolving.

The discussion will examine the growing connectivity needs of enterprises, the role of fibre in supporting cloud and data centre ecosystems, and the strategies operators are adopting to deliver scalable, secure, and high-performance services. Panellists will also address competition, wholesale models, and new opportunities emerging from AI-driven data demand and digital infrastructure investment.

A forward-looking discussion on how fibre networks are becoming the backbone of Europe’s enterprise connectivity landscape.
