The FTTH Council Europe has seven active Committees and a Working Group, covering a wide range of fibre-related topics and industry priorities. The Committees and Working Group of the FTTH Council Europe are instrumental in driving the organization’s mission to advance FTTH technology across the continent. By harnessing expertise, shaping policy, strategizing market development, and promoting collaboration, these groups ensure that the Council remains a leading force in the telecommunications industry. Their strategic importance cannot be overstated, as they lay the foundation for a connected, digital Europe where high-speed internet access is a reality for all.

By mean of this series of interviews with Committee and Working Group Chairs, the FTTH Council Europe aims at fostering a sense of community and collaboration among its Members. Committees and Working Group provide a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving. This collective effort not only accelerates innovation but also builds a robust support system for member organizations, enhancing their capabilities and competitiveness in the market.

Investment Tracker - March 2024 update

The report, produced by the Investors Committee and powered by Macquarie Capital, reveals a nearly 50% reduction in financing volume in 2023, compared to the previous year. Despite this decline, the industry witnessed substantial investments, some exceeding 1 billion EUR, underscoring its resilience. Currently, the swap rates are slightly lower than they were in the summer of 2023. 


Financing fibre optics is becoming more difficult. Investors and entrepreneurs need guidance. To this end, the FTTH Council Europe's Investors Committee, together with Macquarie, has put together and launched this first-of-its-kind overview of fibre financing transactions in selected European countries. This includes current trends, risk factors that are currently in focus, and country-specific lists of transactions we have seen in the market. Where this information is public, these lists include financing volume, banks involved, financial and legal advisors, and expansion targets. The Investors Committee will update the information twice a year.
