Keynote Panel: Built to last: Can operators guarantee subsea resiliency?

In recent years, the vulnerability of subsea connectivity and the need for alternative routes have been proven. The EU is incentivising investment in digital infrastructure owned and operated from within the EU and this is giving rise to new builds – notably to Genoa, Crete, Cyprus and Portugal. This panel will discuss the importance of collaboration to drive investment in underserved routes, the implications for landing station demand and progress on achieving diversity, as well as the drivers and incentives for carriers to build new routes.
