As such, technology driven sectors such as Telecoms, Information Technology, and Media and Electronics are at the forefront of importance facing at the same time very significant challenges.

The migration from the physical to the digital world has caused major disruption across a large number of economic and social activities, and has fostered the emergence of new business models and markets, using as a main lever the capabilities provided by electronic devices, telecommunication networks and the internet.

  • Decline of traditional revenue streams (e.g. voice calls, packaged software, printed or publicly broadcasted content).
  • New customer needs (e.g. data driven communications, cloud computing, internet of the things, social media, personalized information and entertainment).
  • Capital expenditure and Operating Expenses efficiencies (e.g. network sharing, downsizing, cost cutting).
  • Regulatory compliance (e.g. fair competition, data protection, transparency).
