Context

Tech

The advent of generative AI, powered by large language models and a wide range of use cases, has profoundly transformed the technology ecosystem since 2022, leading to massive investments in digital infrastructure, particularly data centers. At the same time, the emergence of innovative financing models for the acquisition of computing chips (GPUs, CPUs, TPUs, etc.) is helping to support and sustain the rapid, capital-intensive growth of the sector’s main players

Telecoms

Telecom companies are shifting from a phase of intense investment in 5G and fiber to a new one focused on monetizing these technologies, while evaluating the potential benefits and threats posed by LEO satellite operators. At the same time, Europe’s fragmented telecom market is experiencing growing momentum for consolidation among players, supported by favorable regulatory and political economic conditions.
