The digital networks ecosystem is undergoing a phase of innovation that is opening new opportunities and challenges for all technologies in Europe. Considering the EC announcement that it will adopt a Connectivity Package by end February, and with the election of a new parliament, this year will be of great importance - having a greater understanding of new business models, networks innovation, cooperation and convergence of technologies will be of essence.

During this breakfast, we will take stock of how much progress has been achieved in terms of connectivity with regards to digital targets, how technology can help the future of networks and how setting the right EU agenda will be key to ensuring a framework that fosters growth, investment and innovation for the whole of Europe.
