Challenges
01
Market growth and specialisation
Local providers are constantly losing market share, struggling to compete with larger, global entities. This trend is particularly concerning in a growing market that could greatly benefit from the unique advantages offered by local providers, such as specialized services, localized solutions, and closer customer relationships.
02
Growing Infrastructure Needs and local capillarity
The industry’s demand for more extensive and distributed infrastructure, driven by advancements like Digital Twins and AI, is increasing. Therefore, it’s crucial to avoid a potential widening of the technology gap between hyperscalers and local operators and enable the latter to leverage their territorial presence and ensure edge infrastructure.
03
Unlimited Innovation
Greenfield projects and new applications are increasingly dependent on the infrastructure and PaaS services of hyperscalers. However, collaboration between hyperscalers and local providers could create greater flexibility, prevent bottlenecks, and stimulate disruptive innovation, enhancing overall market growth and competitiveness.
Unlock new opportunities
A different approach: one that’s interoperable, sustainable and mindful of social impact.
Wide geographic distribution (e.g. Edge Infrastructures).
Enable Small and Mid size CSPs to exploit the «last commercial mile» (reinforcing their local presence).
Enhancing new market opportunities.
