A complex geopolitical, regulatory and economic context 

Companies are operating in a global context marked by economic uncertainty, geopolitical conflict and new regulatory requirements to regulate markets in the face of sustainability, security and sovereignty challenges. For telecoms and digital operators, this instability is heightened by the arrival of intra-industry competitors and disruptive entrants from Big tech giants, start-ups or Fin Tech, but also by an ever-increasing need for always-on connectivity. Faced with these challenges, and the arrival of disruptive new players in a highly competitive sector, telecoms operators must ensure their economic resilience by identifying high-potential areas and activities, and by taking an active approach to regulatory developments. The sector is also a key stakeholder in the digital sovereignty of nations. What are the key success factors for telecoms players? Robust infrastructures and enhanced skills.
