Speaker: Vincent Garnier - Director General, FTTH Council Europe
Date: 3rd-7th, November 2025
Organiser: Fiber Connect Council MENA / FCGA (FTTH Councils Global Alliance).
The global trend towards Smart, Sustainable Cities places immense pressure on digital infrastructure. Fibre-optic networks, as the most energy-efficient and high-capacity medium, are the foundational layer enabling the massive data flows required by AI-powered services, connected transport, and resource optimization that define urban resilience. Ensuring that policy and investment keep pace with this need is a key priority for global stakeholders. This FCGA Summit 2025 session, scheduled on November 5th, will highlight the critical policy and market levers needed to accelerate full-fibre adoption in metropolitan and regional hubs. It brings together FCGA Leaders, including the FTTH Council Europe, alongside Middle East and Africa operators and policymakers, to discuss the economic and environmental benefits of fibre-led urban development. The discussion will cover strategies for reducing digital infrastructure’s carbon footprint and maximizing its social impact.The FTTH Council Europe will contribute expert perspectives on how global best practices-including regulatory frameworks and shared infrastructure models-can be applied in the MENA region to build a competitive and sustainable digital future. Attendees will gain actionable insights into investment trends and the strategic value of fibre in achieving national digitization goals. In-person participation in Dubai is highly recommended to engage directly with the global leaders shaping this agenda.
