      Our lives are increasingly shaped by technology, networking and information. The products and solutions offered by the three TMT sectors are now everywhere, all the time. Digital applications in the B2B and B2C sectors are growing rapidly – and with them the growth opportunities for TMT companies.

      At the same time, they face major challenges, as the market, customers and regulatory framework are constantly evolving. High levels of competition, rapid innovation and increasing demands on data protection and system security are just a few examples.

      Many TMT companies are therefore faced with the question of how to prioritise investments, meet changing customer needs, manage risks and position their organisation for long-term success and sustainability.

      Technology, media and telecommunications are not only shaping digital transformation – they are determining how we will work, communicate and grow in the future. Innovation, infrastructure and trust are inextricably linked in this process.
