ETIS Virtual Gathering: How Telcos can drive a better life for all at a lower cost to the planet

The emergence of new coronavirus variants continues to drive the (high) level of uncertainty towards the future, yet with vaccination programs hitting goals, society and economy are preparing to “get back to business.”

The COVID-19 crisis has, indeed, raised a lot of concerns and discussions which have truly questioned the way we live and work. Moving past the hype of buzzwords like the "new normal or "never normal," we should seize this once in a lifetime opportunity to make real change. As the backbone of digital society, we believe Telcos are strategically positioned to do this. But how and in which verticals should they enter to go "beyond connectivity?"

On Thursday, October 21st we had our third ETIS Virtual Gathering which focused on "How Telcos can drive a better life for all at a lower cost to the planet."
