Embracing the Future
On Monday, June 17th 2019, we hosted our 9th annual Telco CEO & Private Equity Event in Vienna with an unprecedented attendance of CEOs, Private Equity, Infrastructure funds and leading banks from 25 countries. The topic of this year’s event was about “Embracing the Future”, i.e. discussing options for inorganic growth that will shape the telecoms industry. During the event we gave a preview of our Flagship Report 2019, covering a truly global view of the telecom industry, with over 100 C-level interviews conducted and more than 4.300 deals in the telecom sector analyzed. During our presentation we have presented many case studies covering recent 5G & FTTH deployments, M&A deals and launches of services beyond the core i.e. illustrating strategies of AT&T, Axiata, SK Telecom, Swisscom, Telia, OpenFiber, Orange, Verizon, … among others.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all participants, in particular for their interactions during the vivid Q&A discussion and their networking session that lasted way beyond midnight.
Should you wish to receive the "preview of the report", pls feel free to request it.
Best regards

5 年Hello Karim, thank you for organizing this interesting event in Vienna last week! We agree that Telcos can use the cash generated from the sales of their infrastructure assets to optimize their balance sheets and build the business of tomorrow. Question mark remains what revenues will be generated and what returns the Telcos will make when they invest the proceeds in new businesses beyond the core.
